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?

1) resaw using a bandsaw
2) plane using a power planer
3) plane using hand planes (also can be incorporated into body buiding)
4) move to Arizona desert and nail boards on fence. 3/4" cedar was
reduced to 1/2" cedar in three years for me :-)
5) find another source - my local guy sells smaller pieces in 1/2"
thickness.
