The Long and Wide of It.

The walnut island top I'm making is wider than than my machines can handle so I'm gluing it up into two pieces.  Here are the two top halves after they've been run through the drum sander.  Each of these are 18" wide by 15'+.  The piece on the right has a cutout for where the sink is going.  There should be minimal work to be done on the center joint hopefully if I spend the time to align it right during glue-up.
Half the job of working these long and wide pieces is just in figuring out ways to move them around the shop....well, the temporary shop as it were.  To run a 15'+ board through a machine you have to have at least say 17' in front of the machine and 17' behind it.
