  11. Sailboat handrails

    My old sailboat needed new cabin-top handrails so I made these last winter.

That meant both that the wood needed to be thick enough to withstand the strain and also that...

    Hopefully someone can help me with this. I cannot seem to get this right. This morning I was resawing 6/4 cherry to bookmatch into panels for doors. I was hoping for a 5/8 final thickness. All would have been fine if the blade had not curved inside the piece while resawing. I was left with a...
