   Can you clarify what you mean? How curved are the boards? Do you want to straighten them or maintain the curve? Do you want to join them to other boards or just have a square edge?

   The boards have curved grain patterns and are not a regular curve and I want to join them to other boards with similar grain patterns. The board widths are two wide to be band sawn with my (14" saw). Easy to join square boards but difficult to join irregular boards. Does that make sense? If the boards were smaller they could be stacked and band sawn but they are to big for my saw.

   I'm afraid I still don't have a clear picture. You said the boards are 8" wide but they won't fit in your 14"bandsaw? Can you post a picture or 2 it would probably help tremendously.

   The first two boards could be made to fit but not the third or fourth boards won't. In addition the boards average about 8" but could be wider as much as 10" in places. I will try to get a pic or two shortly.

   Attached is a sketch of the planned joinery.

   Stumpy Nubs has a video on this. It employs an oversized bearing on a pattern bit and templates. Pretty slick.

   Marius Hornberger has a video about a similar technique with a special bit set.
