very small time in all reality

[drobertson]

 I need to say, my beloved wife has been in education for 24 years, and I have had several tasks to accomplish with no regrets.  When she asked for a thin board for a road sign I thought no problem.  I came up with this,
 

 
A pretty thin board, 1/8", 4" wide, syp. 
 

  

  

 
Although these were very nice, they were to heavy. What she needed was veneer,  I had one on the wall, I had saved after trying to saw out some for  chair maker, thin as a dime, faded, but really flat and straight.  I grabbed it and she said " Perfect!"  I could not believe it,  I have looked at it for over two years between to purling's, I just liked it, you know,  anyway, battery gave way,so a pick is coming on this one,   just  wanted to share my lil wood working expertise
I have to add, this has been in the office, if you call it that, for over a month, no movement whatsoever.  Just amazing,  I wish framing lumber would behave so good,

David, the first thing that came to mind when I saw these pictures was venetian blinds. You better be careful about storing wood in the house, the little lady will surely find a use for it.
Have a great day.

I have found that really thin strips behave better than one would think. I think it's because they dry out before they have time to warp.

Just don't try it with persimmon.  They could teach a topology course with one board.
