I have been working 24, 26" boards for panel glue ups. The work has been going slower than I had hoped. I finally discovered that none of the 4/4 stock I am using is reliably square\flat on any of it's surfaces. Once I am done I will have a better idea about how to prepare wood for glue ups. The project has reminded me of the fact that I like working from split/rived logs. My question then becomes how would other posters suggest preparing stock without any reliable dimensions for furniture projects? Using an electric jointer would be considered cheating.
