I have a piece of s2s 1" mahogany 40"" x 11"
It has a slight wind to it. if I lay it on the convex side and hold down 1
end - the other is no more than 1/2' off the table. The other way using a
straightedge about 3/8" is the largest gap. I was thinking I could use this
for the legs of my project. If I can't easily locate 6/4 mahogany locally
I'd rip and glue up the pieces.
Considering the slioght wind - do I need top true this board first or could
I get away with rip and glue then sand/plane/shape, etc to size.
If I do need to true it - what's the best way to tackle it - I have a planer
and a router table, bandsaw, tablesaw but no jointer. I can joint the edge
using the router table but that's about it. I do have several hand planes
but I've never tried to remove a wind before.
Any suggestions will help.
Thanx,
Vic Baron

Of course, I may be wrong, I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
A previous post dealt with much the same matter. Rip it down the middle, then
joint the two pieces flat, etc.. I doubt if you'll end up with much more than
3/4 inch of thickness. Oh, no jointer? Now's your chance! Tom

I'd rip them oversized, glue up the leg blanks then mill them. You'll
probably lose less material that way then trying to take a twist out of the
whole piece, especially a half inch twist.
