CF-FZG ... a convenient source of 4" wide x 1/2" thick x 1 yard lengths of WRC is random groove cedar panelling from a timber merchant or the like
....the question then is do you have the capacity to rip the lengths into your chosen plank thickness.....?
1. a scroll saw will cut the timber but provide uneven & tapered widths
2. a band saw will provide a more accurate width as long as a width fence is used
3. a power saw could be used
4. a Proxon table saw will provide the best accurate plank cutting solution ...
....but at a substantial cost
Just to digress....WRC is a quick growing timber & has rather course grain structure........whereas oak is slow growing & results in a far closer grain structure & is happier being steam bent that WRC ...just a thought
Oak is also available in 4" wide x 1/2" thick x 1 yard lengths of random groove panelling from a timber merchant or the like
The trick is to find the best timber merchant
........................better to pay a few $ more & get good advice...........
