Looking for someone to resaw 1 board in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I'm nowhere near you, but the typical recommendation for this group is that you immediately go out and spend at least $ 800 on a new bandsaw and practice on a bunch of scrap for a while before... uh, what was it you wanted?

Mmmmm.. new tools.

Haha ... trust me, that was my immediate thought, too.

SWMBO tends to disagree, however.

I guess I'll try the local exotic lumber yard, but it'll still prolly cost me $25 for 2-3 cuts. Be a shame to rip it to 6" width to cut it on my own saw. :(

You could always glue the pieces back together.

I could, but it would ruin the effect of the spalting.

Mike, I'd guess you are talking about Woodsource in Ottawa. There's a guy in Wakefield who will do that kind of thing as well. I don't remember his prices, but I believe they are comparable to Woodsource.

Les entreprises Bizier inc.

The owner is Marc Bizier and is very approachable. It's worth knowing other sources.

His shop is about 35 minutes from Rideau & King Edward.

Thanks, Tanus.

I do know those guys.. I'll give them a shout.

Thanks again.

For just that one board, another alternative is a hand saw. Before you use the handsaw, though, set your tablesaw fence to the witdth you want plus an appropriate amount for finishing/scraping/planing/sanding or whatever methoud you use. Then groove the board all around including the end grain sides. The table saw cuts will guid your handsaw for a straight cut. You'll need to plain the surface even since a handsaw cuts a much narrower kerf than a tablesaw.

I know it's not real close, but Langevin & Forest in Montreal can cut just about anything, as long as it's wood.
