I bought some cypress boards this morning to use for drawer sides and backs in a dresser I am making. It is nominally 5/8 thick so it shouldn't be too hard to plane down to the 1/2 thickness I want. Any comments on this? Think it will work? Any tips?
The nightstands in the same bedroom have softwood scraps I planed down to 1/2. Some have nail holes and most have at least 1 knot. So the fact that this cypress isn't clear doesn't bother me for this application.
Joints will be router template half blind dovetails.
