Round table from one big plank - how big?

Jay Pique · 2009-05-22T01:31:23+00:00

So I've got one big plank of walnut out of which I'd like to make around table. I've determined that since the plank is 12x96 I have1152 square inches of area, which equates to just over a 38" diametertable, (ignoring the realities of loss due to saw kerfs and theaesthetics of infinitely narrow strips.) Now assume that I rip theplank into 3 strips of 4" - what's the biggest diameter I can get? Isthere any sort of formula I can use to see what my options are?Thanks.JP
