I have a number of oak boards that are 5/4 (1.25 inches thick). I need to create a number of 1/2-inch thick boards for a cradle project I'm working on. They are too wide to fit through my bandsaw for resawing so that's out.
Would it be worth it to resaw them on the table saw?
If so, do I joint one face and one edge to run through the table saw?
Or do I just run them through jointer and then through the planer to get them to size? That seems a waste.
Thanks,
Bill
P.S. The boards were free. They were stored outside for about four or five years and have been in my garage for the past two months in Michigan.
