He could do a lot of stuff... but his results speak for themselves. That is pretty much the best resawing I have ever seen. The saw is good and enables him, but his skill allowed him to do that. That was pretty dang cool... and I love that maple :)

Were is your eye protection?  :-)

[VALKRYE2009]

no affence but most diyers don't care about eye protection

[MrJoshua182]

You could use a tall featherboard to assist in holding the board even.

[deathofamartyr2]

where could you get wood like that?

[telebingo]

Although you are pretty skilled with a band saw, why didn't you just cut the two slimmer pieces first while you had the stability of the main piece then cut the main section in two...

[KingBlossomGuitars]

I guess because my focus is on the top pieces and if I screw up I still have some wood to work with. Good idea.

What is the waiting time after the cut has been made to let the wood dry? Is there a standard or does it vary depending on wood and/or weather temp?

[KingBlossomGuitars]

It was pretty dry..I'll wait a month or so.

Sometimes you see moisture being pushed out on the cut line just in front of the blade.

I'd say that piece was no more than 6-8% moisture.

Well such a saw is better not operated by an amateur like me... I would miss the one or other finger :-)) I like to see how a guitar is brought to life!!!

Thx for posting..

[KingBlossomGuitars]

OSHA would probably have a fit...I keep my fingers away.
