I am out of ideas
I have a piece of oak that is 3.5" H x 5.5" W x 40" L. The oak was drying and it twisted along the process. Just alittle.
I have a planer and thought planer Sled here I come! I made a sled using 0.5" plywood that is rigid and straight. Shimmed the oak so no more rocking and glue the shimes. The planer removed from the stock but when I flip the planed faced on my table saw bed, it still rocks.
I thought its probably the heavy oak and the planer rollers bending the sled. So I removed the sled and just shimmed the oak again and glued the shimes to the oak piece. Ran it through and still rocking.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? My next idea is to glue plywood runners to the side of the oak, so the oak is alittle lifted and leveled then plan it that way...
I also need the piece of oak as is for a project. Can't rip it.
