Subject : RE: Re: [DIY] Car siding for flooring
Not familiar with car-siding but if its solid
wood of sufficient
thickness it can be run through a planer but it will
lessen the
thickness of the board. Depending on where you live
there may be a
woodworking club that gathers and you would be able
to contact someone
there. If you are in Colorado I could help you.

pine. Tried to talk me into laminate. I do NOT want
laminate for all the reasons posted on THIS group
list back when I was trying to decide what to use on
my floors.
