thin wood?
« on: November 13, 2012, 06:51:19 pm »
I want to make some Christmas presents and the pattern calls for 1/2" stock and I need it 7" wide. My question is if I use Aromatic Cedar will 1/2 x 7 board be to thin and cup on me?

The pattern is Steve's pattern for the Bass key caddy
Thanks,
George S.

Hey George, I think you will be ok with 1/2" Aromatic Ceder. 1/2" should be fairly stable.
