Hey all. I have a big block of merbau that im making a chopping board out of. Ive ran the plane over it but its comming up all uneven. Is there anywhere i can get it put through a thicknesser? I cant think of anyone that would do it.
Cheers

Re: Need to use a timber thicknesser
Try the local mens shed if you have one in your area they usually have some wood working equipment there. Otherwise take it to a local cabinet maker or joiner and they will do it for you at a small cost.trout-hunter wrote:Hey all. I have a big block of merbau that im making a chopping board out of.

Cant think of any wood working mobs around. A mate of mine is a cabinet maker so ill see if he can take it into work on monday, never thought of asking him.

Re: Need to use a timber thicknesser
Ahh i know what you men.. i think i caused a bit of a dip in the middle because i went a bit slower. I just cant get rid of the plane groves, Ill give it another crack tomorrow. Might upset the neighbors if i start planning again now. Bloody noisey tool thats for sure..
