Hi all - I’m building a 112” x 44” walnut dining table with 10/4 boards for the top. I’m having a heck of a time running the 7”-11” boards through my 8” jointer an 12” planner. I’m using the method of partially flattening 8” of the face and then running through my planner using a base that supports the 8” part of the board that was flattened.
Problem is is the boards are so heavy and rough that I’m getting a lot of undulations or a wavy pattern on The faces.
Wondering if anyone else has been through this with a 8” jointer and benchtop (dewalt) 12” planner.
or am I just resigned to expect some heavy hand planing when I’m all done with my glue ups?
