🎁Building a commissioned piece with client-provided wood is a unique experience.
🛠Acclimating wood before milling is essential to ensure stability.
➕Using a planer sled can achieve flatness without a jointer.
❓Track saw and crosscut sled are efficient tools for cutting the panels.
👍Creating perfectly flat panel glue-ups requires precise calibration and technique.
Can I use reclaimed wood for this project?
—Yes, as long as it is in good condition and can be milled flat and stable.
Do I need a jointer to create flat panels?
—No, a planer sled or other techniques can achieve flatness without a jointer.
What other tools can be used for cutting the panels?
—A track saw and crosscut sled offer accurate cutting options.
How can I ensure perfectly flat panel glue-ups?
—Calibrate the table saw blade slightly past 45 degrees and use precise technique.
