-
looks quite a wide and thin board now - have you considered the risks of the board cupping? I learnt the hard way...
workshop looks great!

Ah, the board I think you are looking at is a bit of 12mm birch ply that I was using as an outfeed table. The oak is on the table at the back left, the boards final dimensions are 220mm wide by 25mm thick which I think should be ok but I may learn the hard way too. I'm going for a continous 650mm deep table with the grain "waterfalling", so the edges of the table top will be bevelled and glued/dowelled into the legs. I'll put a lengthways apron at the back edge as well as to prevent sagging.
We'll see, I was originally intending 30mm thick, but inexperience with the milling process has lead to 24mm final thickness. Worse come worse I'll put some stiffeners along the width underneath.

Had my first foray into thicknessing. This is what inadequate dust collection looks like. Oak chippings literally everywhere. fun fun fun. I have much to learn about how to use it effectively, the desk I'm making is going to end up a fair bit thinner that I had originally planned.
