I have a 9.5 foot long board. about 7 inches wide. 8/4 rough oak.
It has a good 1/4" bow on its face.
I need to get that bow out before I plane it, and its just too long for even my 8" jointer.
What is the recommended method? Scrub plane the ends of the board, or the middle of the other side. then run it through the planer? Use an electric hand plane? Use a router sled? Making extensions to my jointer doesnt sound fun, plus my shop is 20ft long, so the 9.5 ft board is making out my shop when u consider infeed plus outfeed room.
What do yall suggest... tempting if i need to buy a scrub, electric, jack plane, or build a sled, or just go at it with my belt sander?
