So I just spend some time with my planer - boy does it make a mess… but great results on large planks - until snipe hits.
The main reason I wanted to have a planer was to make chopping boards, since I had already chopped the wood I’d go ahead and plane my pieces and glue them together. Worst thing I can waste at this point is glue… If the snipe at the top/bottom has a huge impact I will just make it into a smaller bread board.
Here is my very first chopping board in glueing.
The one thing I can’t work out is how I’m going to plane the board once done - sounds like I’m going to loose a bit on the front and the back…
