Hi everyone,
First time here...
I'm a beginner who's just starting woodworking. I'm making a small shelf unit that required me to glue up 4 panels form smaller stock. 2 are 17" x 15", and the other 2 are 17" x 12". I squared all the cherry stock & did the glue ups last week. I'd say 2 of them are not bad at all, and 2 are definitely off a bit.
My question is this: what's the best way to smooth these out & get them perfectly flat? I have access to a 20" planer that i could feed them all through. Is that a good idea? If i don't do that then I think i'll be doing it with a belt sander.
All advice is appreciated...
