I'm working up bid on wine bottle boxes. I need a source of 1/2 or 3/8 inch
wood, 4 1/4" wide. I'm in northern Idaho so need a supplier in the Inland
Northwest. I've tried Spokane near where I work but no luck. I really
don't want to buy 3/4" then plane half of it away and I can't afford a resaw
bandsaw yet.
Any cloos?
Thanks,
Will H
ANY 14in bandsaw should be able to resaw 4.5in wide boards. May take
some time on your part, but no need for a specialized resaw saw

Wood used for fence pickets and T&G paneling is often 1/2". Cruise the
wood fencing and paneling aisles of your local lumber yard/store.

Sure, can be a lot of things, like moisture content differentials, saw
adjustment, blade design, but mostly it's the dust that would be flying up
on a through pass jamming in the cut.

Why not resaw them on your table saw. Raise the blade all the way up, run
it through once on edge, then flip and do it again.

For safety's sake, leave about 1/4" uncut and finish with a handsaw.
If you don't things can get goofy in a hurry towards the end of the
cut.

I've done it without incident many times, but the suggestion below is
excellent. When resawing on the table saw, I use a push block/stick
on top of the piece which stabilizes the piece(s) laterally, and a
push stick on the side to keep it flat against the fence. As always,
don't even think of standing directly behind the piece.

Maybe my saw wasn't set up well enough, but I tried this on jarrah and
about 5' into the cut, my saw blade started to smoke and I had to
abort due to a glowing saw blade :(
Could the toughness of the wood have anything to do with this? Or was
it just a badly set up saw with too much rubbing on the disk?
