My dilemma is this: making half-inch boards out of one-inch boards with
the planer seems like a waste of good lumber. And, also, if I don't do
any resawing, I've got just enough lumber to make the shelf; no leftovers
to practice on and see how the wood behaves.


I'd resaw. 3/8" is plenty strong enough for a spice rack. I'd also put door
on it to keep the spices out of sunlight so they last longer
