I scored some 8/4 grade A "select and better' walnut this weekend. All 6ft long and about 6" wide. Quartersawn. My first time buying wood like this. It all needs to be planed and squared.
I already made a sled to plane them flat as I dont have a jointer and man they came out nice.

Anyone have sled ideas to joint/cut a straight edge? I saw a few ideas on google images have another 6ft long x 12" piece of pine. Trying to decide if I surface mount some toggle clamps, make a t-slot about 8" in from the left side of board and use hold downs, or just drill 6 evenly spaced holes for hold downs.
I have about 18 boards. Should I plane and joint them now or only when I go to use them?
