"Don't...tempt me...Frodo!

And NO, I don't have the death wish to run expensive wood through one of those mulching machines. My sander is enough."


Hahaha.

Well I have gotten a horrible case of wood acquisition syndrome, tool acquisition syndrome that resulted from a guitars that I can't afford acquisition syndrome.

In any event I am planning on buying 2" thick slabs of lumber, sawing, re-sawing, planing and thickness sanding.

Are you saying a planer is a waste of money? You can't get below an 1/8" with most of them (not that I would want to) but after re-sawing I would think it would be necessary to get a uniform surface on the wood to avoid burning up the sander. Especially on some Bubinga which is going to be my first wood acquisition.

By the way, my name is Joey and I have enjoyed reading your discussion.
Any advice? thanks.
