Woodcraft Supply

Woodcraft Supply Corp -- Helping you make wood work.

Went here today to pick up a couple of things. Found some nice pieces of wood (approx.5-6" in width and 8' long) for around $20.00 of nice wood like Cherry and Maple.

Of course there is a down side of this... the edges are rough cut so there are only two things I can do to fix this.
1.) The preferred way is to buy a joiner (approx. $250-$800) and run the edge of the board down the joiner. Awsome square cuts which are great for "furniture making" <-- what I want to do.

2.) The cheaper way to handle this rough cut lumber is to run it down a very squared table saw. Little bit by little bit so not to cut too much of the good stuff off. The cut will be as good as the table saw is square, but it will never be as good as a joiner.
