Hi All
I see many patterns call for 1/2" wood, how do I achieve this when my
local
lumber yard sells 4/4 and larger?

thanks in advance
Sandie


A planer. Or even better, assuming that any wood that you buy will not be
perfectly flat, a jointer then a planer. Or I guess you could forget about
your local lumber yard and buy from some company that sells thinner stock --
Steve Wall comes to mind immediately since I've bought 1/4" cherry from them
to save myself all the work and waste of producing it myself.
