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.


I need 24 of these babies, plus backer plates for mounting, plus some other
doodads, and no I haven't found a source in Dallas of all places.

Call the coach at the local high school (or even the local bowling
alley), and ask where they get their plaques made. Every town I have
ever spent time in has a trophy shop, and they can order all this stuff
premade, cheaper than you can pay somebody to cut it, work it and finish
it, and get all the other dood-dads on your own. The only way I would
bother to to have a specific board made into plaques is if the board
itself had meaning, like if it was ripout material from a historic
building, or a salvaged ship.
