Thanks for the great pictures, Terry. I've been off the list for months, just took a peek a followed this thread back to your photos. Thanks so much for sharing. I'd love to see your glue up. I've got a Delta 14" that I know will work fine for resawing up to 6" or so, just have to feed slow and get trued up with fence and feather board. I take it that's what the stack on the right of the stock is acting as. Is the board on the right screwed to a straight fence. I know there are some radiused fences used for re-sawing, although I've not seen or used them.

Thought I should start cuttin' some Sitka as a first step in building these panels. Just thought I would share some photos of the process - not everyone has the opportunity to see this. Picture below is of my general setup. The two-inch-thick Sitka boards I am resawing are on the floor after the first cut. My untouched two-inch stock is on the left of the picture. Bandsaw is on the right. The Sitka stock I have now runs from boards of 16 to 20 feet long. In the picture is a 16-foot-long board ready to go through the bandsaw. The object here is to produce flitches for building a soundboard panel. There's the board half-way through the cut. And the cut is complete! Here is a picture of the power feed I have for my bandsaw...... ;-) Terry Farrell Farrell Piano www.farrellpiano.com terry at farrellpiano.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
