Keith , absolutely no problems I have a better idea , in the UK any Indian owned grocery or supermarket will have these mango crates at the back of their storage area( all things to be recycled section ). Seriously , I am thinking of making a router ski jig ,so that I can do the surface planing with the bit that I have. Wood has beautiful grain. The size is 2.5 to 4 inches width, length 12,inches and the thickness about 1/2 an inch.
Thanks Keith
