    Cracks in thin cedar planking -- what to do?

    I have 6 planks of white cedar that I resawed a few days ago and stickered, and planed down today to approach final width. I planed them to ~0.2", and the final destination is 5/32" (0.156"). In any case, some of these planks have some longitudinal cracks. The question is this: are these to be expected with material this thin and light, or should I go buy some ash for the planks?
