Can anyone tell me if a professional woodworking shop can rip a piece of
wood measuring 9" x 2" x 8' down to a 9" x .75" x 8'? Does this type of
rip have a unique name?

Thanks!

I'm still wondering why you're buying 8' if you only need 17". Don't you
have a hardwood guy in town? An unassuming shed on a back street with no
sign, full of exotic woods from all over the world? He should have a
short piece of it around, or be willing to cut you one. Maybe has the 1
x stock to save you the resaw effort, too.
