  1. I just can't see how cutting your own planking is cost effective on a table saw. A thin kerf blade will automatically throw away .065" of valuable wood now if your building a cheap pine boat that might not matter but is still extremely wasteful. If you plan on using boxwood or Swiss pear buy the veneer and scrape to the thickness you want. Plane no backing veneers range from .025-.045 approx. Holly good luck on that I cut off a branch in the woods at 24" then clamp it on the workbench and block plane it green and to the thickness you want uncurl and let dry holly needs to dry fast to keep the whitest possible color. DO NOT BUY the ebay holly veneer it's old and looks like maple. English Sycamore is you next best thing or dyed veneer.
