No Steve, I was going to have it put on a band mill, but at 32" wide it wouldn't fit so I cut it as straight as I could with the chainsaw then used an electric handplane to get it sandable.

Me too!

Thank you Butch!

Yes, this is mine! I think I am going to have to sand again, the epoxy seems to have swollen up a little since I moved it under the bed in the warmer house. Not a biggie, just annoying being that close and having to work it again!
