Soundboard, part III


Planing to thickness
The resawn boards were about 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick. They need to be 9/100ths of an inch thick. I was afraid to use the thickness planer to go less than 3/16ths of an inch thick; beyond that, it is all hand planing.

The piece show in the picture at right is to the correct thickness for now (1/10th of an inch). I have four more boards to plane, and then a small amount to remove with a sander.
