Resawing

From CoMakingSpace Wiki

resawing a very thin board which will become the bottom of a special bandsaw box

Resawing is the process of cutting a piece of wood lengthwise across its thickness. Sounds complicated? Try "cutting one board into two thinner boards" ;-)

For Maker projects, the machines you resaw with are typically bandsaws or table saws.
