Resawing

I started planing a slab of ash that I think will work for a resonator. It’s a bit gnarly and very dense. It had been much easier to dig out one of the large frame saws but alas, they are at the cottage and I’m not. 

So I thought I’d give it a try with my Sandvik #292. I need to slice off three pieces, so three cuts. I scored around the edges, had to settle for that because the kerfing plane resides with the frame saws. I will present the progress in an entertaining time lapse.

So, almost half of the first cut in almost one hour. This’ll take a while. And I need to sharpen the saw.
