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!

Yeah, it's called "resawing". There are a couple of ways -- bandsaw
would be most common, particularly if it is a piece of hardwood, not
just construction lumber so could use the cutoff as veneer stock, etc.

Alternatively, if it weren't, it could just be run through the thickness
planer.

But, to answer the question as posed, most any decent-sized shop should
be able to handle that w/ no problem.

I think what you're describing is usually called "resawing", and is
typically done on a bandsaw. However, that's quite a thin slice you're
asking for there, kind of the equivalent of using a big-ass cheese
slicer on a 2" board. Very difficult to get a good cut. (It would
probably need to be run through a planer after resawing.) What are you
using this for? I assume it's not cheap pine and that you can't (or
don't want to) run down to the lumber yard and get an 8-foot 1x10.

A good bandsaw can do this (and much thinner) quite easily. Folks slice
up expensive wood for veneers all the time neatly enough that only a
surface sander is needed to finish them. You don't do it on a cheap 12"
Craftsman bs w/ a dinky little 1/2" blade, though...

I would say this would want to be done on a good 18" or larger saw.

It's Ipe wood and it's for a decorative plaque. The finished plaque needs
to measure 8.5"h x 17"w x 1/2"d (my original post said 3/4"). The only Ipe
I have found online that accomodates those dimensions is 9"h x 2"d, which
is way too thick. The finish has to be pristine being that it's
decorative.

It's easy enough to do on a tablesaw. I wouldn't do it on a bandsaw.

It's far more difficult on a ts than bs (of adequate capacity which any

If you're in a moderate or large area I'd say there would be good chance
a shop would be able to come up w/ something far closer to your needs as
starting point.

Does it _have_ to be ipe? There are lots of other dark woods. What
other requirements?

Does it have to be one piece? You often pay a premium for wider boards but
they are available. If you can't find a board wide enough, you can glue two
or more pieces with a perfect joint. Walnut and cherry would be nice also
and on the darker side that you want. 4/4 rough stock will finish at 3/4"
easily.

This will give you an idea of what is available. Keep in mind, it is random
with x 10" long and you must buy the full board.
http://www.cwghardwoodoutlet.com/


Your best bet is to find a local woodworker that would do this for you.
Many of us would do it for little more than the cost of materials. If it is
from a wood I don't have or need, I'd charge you for the full board that I'd
have to buy or you can supply it.

OK, I believe you. But do you still say you can do all this, now that
the OP has told us that the wood is ipe? That stuff is harder than hell.

If the answer is "yes", then you must have one finely-tuned bandsaw, and
I congratulate you on that.

Powermatic Model 66 Table Saw Model: 66 specs Blade Diameter (in): 10

For a 9" piece that leaves you w/ 2" in the middle you now have to do
with something else (like a bandsaw, maybe? ).

W/ a decent bandsaw and a resaw blade, blade drift is no issue.

Post this question on rec.woodworking and I'd bet the bandsaw would be
the choice 10:1.

This can be done on a large bandsaw or one equipped with riser blocks.
This kind of cut is called a "resaw." The result is book-matched
pieces.

A tablesaw can rip this cut by flipping the stock, keeping the same
side against the fence, then a handsaw can cut out the remaining
center. With a 10" blade you'll have a 1" center to remove.

Another method is to use a surface planer. With this method much of
the wood is wasted and you get just one piece.

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.

Yes, but ...

I agree with whoever said that if one were to post this on a woodworking
group, the answer would be "bandsaw" 10-to-1. It's just a better tool
for the job; much smaller kerf, and therefore less wood waste *and* less
power required for the cut, and probably less dangerous too (remember
that ipe is really hard wood). Yes, potential problems with tracking,
but that's what tuning a bandsaw (and learning how to steer wood through
it) is all about.

Of course, if one doesn't have a bandsaw, as I don't ... hell, you could
rip from both sides on your table saw, then handsaw the remaining inch
or so in the middle.

Or you could do it like Noah's carpenters, sawing the whole thing by
hand ...

blush Of course you're right. For some reason, I kept thinking 6" instead
of 9" for the rip. It was one of those kinda evenings.

The operation is resawing, as most agreed here. Then you need to run it in a
big ass jointer to get it flat, a planer to get it to even dimensional
thickness and a final pass in the drum sander to get it smooth.

But if you have the skills of the late Dick Proenneke, all you need is a
hand saw!

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.

It's Ipe wood and it's for a decorative plaque. The finished plaque needs

I have found online that accomodates those dimensions is 9"h x 2"d, which
is way too thick. The finish has to be pristine being that it's

I got curious because this thread has gone so long and, never having
heard of "ipe wood", I did a little
googling. Ipe is not just a piece of wood, apparently. It is
exceedingly hard and also difficult to finish.
If you do a Google search on ' ipe wood "custom milling" ' you will
probably find what I found. Just
for the sake of getting experienced wooddworkers, I'll post to
rec.woodworking.

I had some oak custom cut and routed edges once, for a bargain price.
The jobber told me afterward
that he burned up several router bits, and would have charged me more
had he known how tough it
would be. He did fine work, and stuck to the price he quoted me.

it would be a lot easier to resaw short pieces of the Ipe board instead of
the full 8 ft.
I'd cut a bit larger than the finished size of the plaque and then resaw
the short piece,and leave the rest of the 8ft. board the full thickness,for
other projects.

you could also use a 10" tablesaw and ripcut each edge of the [short]piece
and then use a handsaw to cut any remaining material joining them.
They would still need planing,and the tablesaw kerf would eat up more
thickness.But for a 0.5" final,you probably can spare it.You just have to
have a good sharp blade,feed slowly and use the anti-kickback guard.

You could even get closer to your desired 0.5" thickness,and perhaps hand-
plane it smooth.

and finish edges. Commonly available and usually less expensive per board
foot than Ipe boards of similar size.

OK, I believe you. But do you still say you can do all this, now that the
OP has told us that the wood is ipe? That stuff is harder than hell.

If the answer is "yes", then you must have one finely-tuned bandsaw, and I
congratulate you on that.


I've not cut Ipe, but I have cut Brazilian Cherry. Very slow feeding. I
cut some down to 1/4" thick trim.

You have to take an hour or two to get the saw properly set up and you need
a good sharp blade. The one I use for re-sawing is used just for that
purpose. I also had a good teacher.

I'd do that on my Jet 14" saw all day long and
have near perfect cuts ready for the planer to finish. I'll even do
it for free if I can have the other 1"+ left over. Want .25? I can
do that too. Want .125? Yep, I've done it, as can anyone with a
decent blade and well set up saw.


Heck, I can do it with my Husky knife :-)

Just be sure to wipe the blood off if you happened to have skinned a 'possum
for dinner first.

Possum? How dare you! Protected species up here at The Lodge. Privledge to
purchase duct tape revoked for infractions. But the dead ones go into
Possum Lake. That's why they call it Possum Lake...ya know.

Kewl! Send me a mailing address. I have a possum that you will just
LOVE! A powerful personality. Has me completely intimidated --
comes through the cat door and ****s up the cat's water dish. So now I
have to slide the closer into the cat door every night. So now my
cat, by now well-trained, goes in and out through a cat door in my
bedroom door (yes, I had one cut in; long story), and through the
miniblinds on my rear window. Scratched up the wallpaper below the
window pretty good.

I'll even send him UPS if it will expedite matters.
