old oregon beams
Hi, I'm after some info and advice. i got my hands on some old oregon beams that are roughly 110 x 270 x long. i was thinking of using it to make a table top but 110 thick is just too big for what i was trying to achieve. Firstly is it a good idea to try to get them ripped in half to 55 thick to then work with them and secondly does anyone know where i could get this done around adelaide, i live in Belair. I will have it cut into lenghts about 2.2m..
cheers
Andrew

if it were me, I'd have them sliced on a bandsaw into three boards around 35mm each
after glue up a table top should finish between 25 and 30mm thick -- plenty thick enough for a table top.regards from Alberta, Canada

that is what i was hoping to get done, anyone know places in Adelaide that have a bandsaw suitable that are willing to cut second hand timber, the ones i have tried so far just won't have anything to do with it.
