I'm looking to build an outdoor cedar barrel sauna and was thinking tongue and grove. I looked on manufacturers website and it seems that they use a "ball and socket" type joint to join the staves together.
Anyone know where to purchase a set for grooving 1" or 1-1/2" lumber? I've seen plenty small bits on Ebay and the like but haven't found anything for 1-1/2" height?
You might check with Amana, they make these bits for Tambours, they might make larger ones.
This is really a job for a shaper, not a router, and a healthy one at that. You can look at car siding, a standard mill shape, that may accomplish what you are after. I don't know about availability in cedar. A local mill shop may run the material for you.

The subject indicates "canoe bit". I'd sure hate to portage a canoe made out of 1.5" lumber.
Maybe it's a war canoe.
