The next step was to run the strips through the planer. It worked best to run two strips at a time. Both sides were planed and we created a lifetime supply of hamster cage liner. Alas, we don't have a hamster. Like usual, I get the painful jobs. I had to PULL the strips smoothly out of the end of the planer.
Then the strips were cut in two lengthwise. Notice Randy is using his safety tool.
After cutting and planing, the finished strips were very flimsy. It is hard to believe a canoe is made of these. But we know better. The finished strips were hard to stack so we tamed them with some painter's tape.
