Router chose to toss a board I was making across the room. I'm repairing it now and in order to keep it 20" long I need to add a piece of wood on the end.
The pencil in the picture shows it.
Will this go through a 13" planer ok with light passes? I can cut and separately plane the cross grain piece as close as possible but assume after glue up there will be a small difference in height.
I do have a piece running with the grain the full length. I can also pre-plane the oak gross grain piece about 1/32" below the board and creep up on it after glue up.
Lastly, i have the option of using walnut or cherry instead of oak for the cross piece. The oak just matches more I feel.
