A friend of mine (Bruce) is a logger in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and also owns a sawmill, while up there building a 32 x 44 garage for a customer the past three weeks,Bruce asked me to take home some of his birdseye maple to make some bookcases for his wife. The carcase will be made out of maple plywood and the face frames and raised panel doors (at the bottom of the bookcases) will be made from the birdseye. The question I have is how to make the birdseye face frames and doors without risking the tearout from the "eyes" of the birdseye? My thought process tells me to first saww all stock to size and run through my drum sander instead of my planer to achieve final size and smoothness....any input/suggestions?
