| Does I need to plane wood? I'm building a 6,80m (22.3 feet) sportboat with cedar, epoxy and fiberglass. I use cedar plank cut with a portable band saw mills. The cut is not so rough. Can I use thoses planks without planing and add fiberglass with epoxy on that? Does I need to plane this wood?  |

| Contact Tom MacNaughton at Macnaughton Yacht Designs and order the booklet on Sheathed Strip Construction. Here is the web site: www.macnaughtongroup.com You do not want to plane the wood. Also, you want to use all square strips so you can lay them with the end grain showing. |

| You can plane the wood. You will need to form it with a sander with 60 grit afterwards. Bandsawn lumber is great. but it will take a lot more epoxy to wet out. Sometimes there is paste wax rubbed on the planer tables. Get rid of it! Make a test pannel. beat on it, break it. The end grain will not show. The quarter grain will. Tom MacNaughton is a honest sincere man give him a call or email him after you surf his site. have fun |
