What happens here

Begin by feeding the rough lumber through a jointer, such as a 6-inch jointer, to flatten one face and square up one edge. Once one face and one edge are perfectly flat and square, pass the wood through a thickness planer, specifically a 13-inch thickness planer, to bring the opposing face parallel and reduce the board to a uniform thickness suitable for the cutting boards. This ensures all pieces are dimensionally stable and ready for glue-up.

Goal: The first step involves preparing the raw lumber by ensuring all faces are flat, straight, and brought to a consistent thickness using a jointer and a thickness planer.
