I have glued up countless boards, table tops, panels always with no issues, but this request scares me a little.
Friend wants a counter top 14’ long glued up from two 12” wide 2” thick 14’ boards. These will be vertical grain Douglass Fir. The boards will be supplied dimensioned and straight lined.
Not sure if my 8” jointer will be able to handle the size of those boards for a perfect joint and flat top. Perhaps this project is better suited for a shop with bigger equipment and a big wide belt sander?
Any thoughts, or anyone interested in this as a commission?
