Working on for a client...Starting with large thick walnut slabs from a local sawyer. First step was jointing a flat edge and gluing up the three main boards. Surface was flattened using old world tools and techniques...(my power planer can not handle 40" stock)
Next up rip and joint the remaining slabs for the narrower return part of the L shape.
stay tuned for more progress
Got this installed last week at the clients home

Thom Cincotta Custom Renovation & Repair, LLC on Jan 13, 2013Word. We've been using the Makita power planers on a framing job (decided to go to school for carpentering...). They make quick work of rough planing. I was looking at a No. 8 Stanley Sweetheart at a tool sale and this old timer tells me, "you'll only use that thing once." I figure that if I'm ever going to need to smooth out large slabs like that you really need the larger reference face.
