To settle an argument
So, I’m having a “discussion “ with the bloke I work with, over whether we should deep cut(resaw) some 8” wide x 2” thick rosewood boards either before face planing one side or after? They’re pretty straight generally, and his argument is we have to face a side anyways, so why not do it first then put that against the fence which makes sense but it means moving them all from one side of the shop to the other, twice. Who does what first out there?

I generally put my "nearly straight" boards over the jointer to get 2 square sides before resawing, which gives a nice clean and square resawn face. But I suppose it depends on how much wood you're prepared to waste.

Yeah, I would also joint a face and a side before resawing. Depending on the wood you'll end up having to joint the same faces again when tensions are released but it still seems like the better way to me.

Yes, clean up one face then rip with the "clean" face against the fence.

I do either, depending upon what I have to start with; how much "waste" I have to play with; the value of the timber; the grain / cut of the board & how likely it is to "perform."
If the stock was well sawn or had been skip jointed / planed & you have two relatively square faces then there is not a lot to be gained. If I don't have a lot of wood to play with then I think hard about the best option.
Other times I will go all out and dress all round first particularly if I'm cutting thin timbers from boards that I know will be stable, and then thickness the stock again before the next cut. That way every thin board has one true wide face when it goes into the thicknesser or drum sander..Mobyturns
