Hi Guys, Hope to post more photos soon,
I bought this lumber at WoodCraft in Tulsa, it's what they call 8/4, witch is 2" thick, I'm
going to saw the bodies out, then run them through the thickness planer and plane them down to 1 3/4",after all the sanding is done they end up about 1 11/16" to 1 5/8".
Danny, your right, Lake Eufalua is a great place to live, were 15 miles from the little town of Checotah, only 10 miles off of I-40(so if anyone is coming through Oklahoma, stop by and visit)
we're about 2 miles from a big recreational area, camping and boating, people come from miles
and miles just to fish here, If I ever get any spare time I might try it myself.

Enjoying your pics as usual, Eddy. Very educational. Love the pic of the shavings flying out of the planer.
