I cleaned up my first piece tonight. When I finished cleaning up the surface completely and cleaned an edge for table saw guide, my thickness came up to 7/8. I still need to clean up the other side. I'm building the vertical stab first for a trial part and learning piece. There are a few pieces that are 1x1 in size. Obviously, the best I can get is 1 x 7/8 or so. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has hit this. Is This acceptable or do I need to order some wood that is 2x 6 in the rough. Would laminating 2 pieces to get the 1x1 acceptable? Please share your thoughts. - Rich ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:26:24 PM PST US From: Glen Schweizer Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Wood size Hi Rich. Yes laminating is ok but you have to do it right. I wouldn't try to bend once laminated though. Use it for cap strips for ribs is even better. Check your wood supplier for S4S 5/4 then you can plane it to 1". Please don't even consider using it in place of 1X1 stock. Stay with original materials call out unless you can justify materials substitution through empirical data or better yet check FAA publication 43-13 > On May 30, 2017, at 8:08 PM, Comcast <4rcsimmons@comcast.net> wrote: > > > I purchased some 1x6 rough cut to build a Piet.
