Gloat:
Next week I will be attending a Hand Cut Dovetailed Blanket Chest class, taught by Kelly Mehler, at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking, just south of Indy.
Now here's the question...
I have some wide cherry (hidden gloat) that I wish to plane down to 3/4 of an inch. It is about 5/4 now. I have a place locally in Ft. Worth that will do it, but I am worried that after I plane it, it may (1) warp, or (2) get damaged during transport to Indy.
Does anyone know of a place with a 24 inch planer in Indy that I can use to plane my lumber? By use, I mean that I am willing to pay to use their planer, or, if liability is a problem, I am willing to pay to watch them plane my lumber. I don't care, I just want it planed nice and flat, and I am not asking for a favor, but am willing to pay.
Some of my boards are 22" wide, and Marc's planer is only 18", hence the problem.
I will be in Indy Friday afternoon, and attending class on Saturday, so Friday afternoon would be best. If you know of a place that can accomodate me, please post their phone number so I can call in advance and set it up.
Thanks in advance!
