Hmmm! cut it again, it's still too short. Not really re-sawing is taking a board and cutting it down to two equal thickness boards. Or cutting a 1/4 thick slice from the stock. That is what I watched Norm cut he took a long1x8 and made two long 1/4x8 boards. Lenny - Original Message -

The function of resawing is taking a board and resawing it to thinner planks even down to veneer. Usually one uses a wider blade in a band saw, often this is limited by the saw to three quarters of an inch and therefore it is not unusual to have a somewhat wavy surface because as you push

NO, ripping would make a perpendicular cut to the surface of the board where as resawing makes a parallel cut. If you rip an 8 inch board in half you have two 4 inch boards. If you resaw a 1x8 board in half you have two 1/2x8 boards. Hope this makes sense. Lenny - Original Message -
