OK...so I went out and purchased about $200 worth of white oak, both plain sawn and quarter sawn, for a rocker that I'm building. When it came to making up the side rails of the chair, the plan called for 1 3/4" x 3" pieces. I didn't have that thickness of quarter sawn and just couldn't get myself to spend the $ for another board, so I took 3, 3/4" boards and glued them together. I then machined this to 1 3/4" thick. Thing is, the plan calls for the glueup to be basically, resawn from corner to corner, forming an angled 3/4" piece...that's why it needed to be 1 3/4" thick to begin with. I'm sure my gluelines will show somehow, but I'm hoping for the best.
Was this a stupid thing to try? Will I end up having to remake the side rails out of solid stock? As it was, the 4/4 stock that I bought, was planed to 1 3/4". After jointing and planing flat, would end up less than the required 1 3/4".
