Boards Widths Less Than
the Chart Width
For example:
If the chart width is
17-3/16"[437mm] and your board
width is 16-3/4"[425mm], the
difference is 7/16"[11mm]. Select a
narrow board width from the chart,
in this case 5-3/16"[132mm], and
reduce its width by the difference,
7/16"[11mm]. The narrower board
width is now 4-3/4"[121mm]. Cut
a board to that width and use the
narrow board for step 6-7.
