to cut up 16 inch wide walnut boards to make baskets if thats all you have?
Yes pics, but don't show us the pics of the board butchered up. I won't be able to stomach that..... you do understand these 16" boards do not exist without pics...
OK pics
I did rip down half of a 12 footer

but I will have serious problems cutting down my 30 wide walnut board. Its kinda safe since it has 3-400 bd ft of 8/4 stock on it

OK guys thanks. Guess I shouldn't feel so bad ripping up wide stock , just 30 years of buying lumber I know how hard it is to come across the really nice wide onesI will certainly never call it a sin. Everyone here knows I rip most of my flat stock sown into 1" and 2" pieces for my cutting boards. Your baskets are works of art and whatever material you use will be better for it.
Oh the Horror! Pics like that should be banned from public view!
