I had to make a replacement piece of bent wood for an outdoor gate top and I made it from thin strips of White Oak glued up with Titebond III. Some of the strips did not line up when clamped and the edges need trimming to make them smooth. I was wondering if I could run one side twice through my jointer set at 1/32 or smaller and then trim the other side on the table or band saw. The bent piece has 90 degree bends at each end. I don't want to ruin a set of jointer knives and wonder if the glue up would hurt them. I also thought of using a carbide bit in my table mounted router with the fence set to trim up the sides.
Any experience/recommendations?
