I've got access to a goodly amount of really rough lumber. I've made
crude
things out of the stuff in the past, but I'd like to see what more refined
things I can do with it.

Modern woodworking wisdom would say get a jointer and a planer, but
they're
both expensive and they take up space. I really don't have room for any
more stationary power tools in my shop. Not even mobile/benchtop models.

So I'm thinking about neandering... What would Roy Underhill do with a
rough-sawn oak board?

Cut off two or three fingers?

Is this a trick question? :-)

Please note that after a gazillion TV shows and decades of
woodworking that Our Lord Roy still has all 5 digits on each
of his hands.

Despite its quaint tendency to leak that bright red stuff (as
shown on TV! and in my shop) when even slightly damaged, our
skin mostly remains where it was before said damage with only
slight dips and bumps to show for it.
