Even when you buy pre-milled lumber, sometimes the boards for your woodworking project are not flat and square. But what do you do if the board is too wide for your jointer? I have two methods for flattening wide boards on my 6" jointer. The first is my favorite, and it involves a few passes with a handplane to clean up the edge of the board the jointer didn't get. The second method is to use a piece of MDF or plywood to make a planer sled so you can flatten the rest of the board.
