I've done some research and it seems that many people who have done this have used 1/4" plywood sub flooring sheets. Ripped then to width, then placed onto the wall with space between each board. I've seen photos of this and it looks nice and is what my wife wants.
So my question is...how do I rip 4x8 sheets of plywood evenly into 4-6" wide strips keeping the edges straight. My table saw is not large enough to handle 4x8 sheets. I've seen 50" straight edge clamps that can be used along with a circular saw but that would not allow me to cut the plywood long wise. I suppose I might find a lumber yard with a panel saw that could do this for me.
