I took the cut pieces of mahogany to my parents house in Nova Scotia. My father has a jointer and thickness planer which I don't have. This got the pieces down to the required thickness and also got out all the curves and warps. The neck piece was so curved that once it was cut straight it was too small. I ended up needing to plane down my spare neck piece and laminate them together. That's tomorrow's project.
We took almost half an inch off the thickness of the side pieces.
My father has a heavy duty jointer that took all the curve out of the wood. It left some nice square sides for gluing later.
Here is my original neck piece being cut down to be laminated with my spare neck piece. (that saw is running in this picture. it caught the blades in motion. You can see the saw dust flying out the bottom)
