Hi everyone

I’ve had this photo sitting around, I kept wanting to ask others about their experience.

What’s the longest pieceof wood you’ve ever planed? This one is 30cm wide, 5m long.

I don’t know what wood it is, it feels like pine.

I expected this to be a serious challenge, but it was no harder to plane than a regular-size furniture piece. I fed it in and the planer did all the work. Didn’t even seem to struggle.

Also since I wanted both sides smooth I flipped it over and did the other side too. The result was perfectly flat enough to use as a shelf. Makes me wonder why I can never get such nice results with smaller pieces.

Cheers,

Andrew
