Some years ago I bought a bunch of Cherry boards at an auction. Estimating it's about 50-60 bd ft. It's mostly surfaced and near to 3/4" but there are some rough spots, cracks, checks, knots, etc. It was cheap but there's a good amount of usable wood there.
I would like to use this stuff for a table I am planning to build, but I'm not sure how to go about processing the pieces. Should I cut the usable material out of the boards first and then joint and plane the good pieces or should I do that to the entire plank and then follow a cut list?
I will be creating the table top by jointing boards together. All the planks are around 6-8" wide and about 6-7 feet long.
Your advice and opinions are welcome.
Thanks!
