I have some 9” wide beech right now and need it to be 10” wide for some cnc projects that I am working on. I was thinking about ripping down to 2” wide then gluing back together to give me the width I need. In the process I could rotate the boards and it may provide a flatter product over time. Is 2” a good width to use or should I rip to 1” strips? The boards are only going to be 16” long so not huge pieces here. TIA
