No worries, man. Honestly, I think you made a lot more sense in your
responses than some of the others. I guess it just amazes me that people
take so much time to "whine". As if it makes a difference hehe.

No shit. I thought it meant something else.

It was not your fault, Mike ... and I hereby apologize for my part in it,
particularly to gabriel.
Twas no excuse that I been sitting here all damn morning waiting on a
delivery of redwood for a commissioned piece ... idle hands bring on the
devil's mischief.
... and it just showed up. Back to work!

Ok, I'll tell you. Let's say you have a 1" thick piece of wood, but you
need 1/2" thick wood. Rather than using a thickness planer and wasting half
the stock, you can slice the wood in half (according to it's thickness) and
end up with 2 pieces. There are a lot of neat things you can do with this,
i.e. bookmatching.

That's because the question was already answered.
Let's not a have a pissing match about this. The points have been made.

Mike's question was not "pertinent", nor was it helpful. I would wager that
Tom's lumber has been sawn three times (at least), in orthogonal planes,
when he got it. In which case ripping and crosscutting could also be
intrepreted as resawing. Further, gabriel's and DarlyRos's replies were to
Mike, not to Tom.

Don't look now, but Mike supplied the explanation. ALL you had to do was
READ it! :)

The question was indeed "pertinent", providing a much better understanding
of the concept if you mentally answer the rhetorical question, and give it
some thought.
If his following explanation was not "helpful", a dictionary would then be
in order.

Exactly ... and they both took unnecessary exception to MIke's perfectly
informative post.

Mike asked a pertinent question in addressing the OP's query itself, the
only snide content of which was in your and gabriel's mind. He then followed
it up with a precise explanation which contributed to the OP's
understanding, something which neither of you bothered to do.

guys, guys! Mike took the time to answer the OP's question! Cut him
some slack for his phrasing; I've not known him to be rude and I'd bet
he didn't mean his question to come off as you thought. He is one of
the most good-natured posters here.

May be more one's frame of reference. The term is that descriptive of the
operation as to be instantly recognizable as soon as you realize the
necessity.
I first heard the term in a shop class as a kid ... in answer to my remark
about what a waste it was to plane down a board to the desired thickness ...
the very second the word itself was uttered by the shop teacher it was
instantly understood.
Resawing is not necesssarily relegated to the bandsaw. It is was once
commonly done by hand, often using a bowsaw, which was my first experience
with it, and can also be accomplishedl, with size limitations, on the table
saw.

Holy toledo! I guess I need to learn how to designate the "tone" of my
responses better.
As Swingman correctly interpreted in one of his responses, I meant the
question rhetorically to sort of poise the OP into trying to visualize what
it could mean. Whoever took offense, oh well.
Tom: as you see I did try to answer your question, hopefully it made some
sense to you. This was one thread of crap I didn't see coming and
definitely didn't mean to instigate.

The term resawing is vague and ambiguous. Hasn't most lumber we bring home
been already sawed once or twice? I would think the action of cutting face
grain using a bandsaw would have a more descriptive term, like we have for
crosscutting and ripping.
When I first became interested in woodworking, the term resawing made no
sense to me other then cutting the same piece of wood more then once, with
any kind of saw. When I found out what it refers to, I thought it was pretty
silly. So, is resawing the only term we have for cutting face grain?
Enquiring minds want to know!

Leslie Gossett asks:
>The term resawing is vague and ambiguous.
Not really. It applies to a specific action. It may seem vague and ambiguous to
someone who doesn't know that specific action or the reasons for it, but it is
quite specific. Resawing does not mean crosscutting or ripping for the second,
third or 58th time. It means cutting wood on the face grain to produce thinner
sections of wood. Period, or at least so far as I know. I've never heard or
seen another explanation for it.

Why? Seems to me resawing, which I was doing earlier today to a piece of
chinaberry wood, is perfectly descriptive.
>When I first became interested in woodworking, the term resawing made no

But it doesn't mean that, as you found out. It is specific. It is useful
.>hen I found out what it refers to, I thought it was pretty

As far as I know. Why do you feel it's silly? Because you started out not
knowing what it means? Does that mean the phrase "Platonic Dialogues" is pretty
silly because I began my Platonic readings without knowing what they are?
