Normally I cut rough stock to the shortest length & width possible before jointing and then planing (ie. 48" or so for face frame stock, etc.) but I need to plane some 4/4 rough stock to 11" x 8'. I'm not feeling confident jointing boards that long (hard to control, too much down pressure, etc.)
What kind of result can I expect if I just run the rough stock through the planer taking small bites, and continually flipping? The stock is quite flat for being rough sawn.
Thanks!
