I have some ~1" hard maple that has been stacked in my shop for 8 or more years. I need to

I'm thinking straight planks would not be a good idea so tounge and groove would be the
way to go. *Am I thinking right?

The next question is how wide to make each board? *Is there an upper limit other than

The last question is after planing, do I use a router table or a table saw and dado for
grooves?

I welcome advice,

Wes-

Checkout commercially available maple flooring. Widths are in the 3
to 10" range.

A table saw would be a little tricky..... better way......a shaper or
router table (but your router better be a beast)
