I'm planning to build a cherry dresser that requires legs finished to 1-7/8" thickness. I'm finding
it hard to locate 8/4 rough cherry lumber that hasn't already been hit/miss planed to 1-15/16.
I doubt I could mill that to 1-7/8. Hence, I am looking at 12/4 cherry and resawing. My only
prior experience with resawing (8/4 ash) ended with the thinner slab immediately cupping, presumably
due to internal strains in the wood.
With 12/4 cherry is it reasonable to expect I can end up, after resawing, jointing, and planing,
with both 1-7/8" and 3/4" slabs?
