Eric Butler Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Philly/South Jersey Woodworkers, I need help flattening a couple large pieces of figured cherry (pic attached), preferably someone with a very large helical jointer and/or planer or maybe someone with a cnc or well-built router sled setup. They're currently 5' long, 2-3" thick, and vary from 18-24" wide but I could rough cut them down as small as 15" wide to fit on a machine if I can find one available that large. I'm happy to compensate you for the wear and tear on your machines, I'm just trying to avoid the high hourly rates of the lumber companies in the area. Thanks for any help, if nothing else I look forward to talking to some fellow woodworkers in my area! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoreHardwoods Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I just had a temporary router sled set up to do a similar size slab of cherry. Where are you from? If you need help setting one up I'm sure we could do it one weekend, I'm in absecon. Let me know. Her is a pic of it after the first coat of tung oil. My name is Steve.

JerrySats Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Give the guys over at The Factory in Collingswood a call. Maybe you could rent shop time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
