Planing cyprus pine floorboards
Hi there,
I would like some advice for cleaning up second hand tongue and groove cyprus pine floor boards.
I recently demolished my 28 year old 100 m2 brick vaneer home stacking the wood for later use on a new deck (66 m2) for my new project home built in it's place.
My brother, friend and I used a hand held circular saw running down the T&G line to remove the floor boards.
Now I need to plane/straigten the sides of the floor boards for the deck and perhaps leave slightly rounded edges for the upper surface of the board.
Can anyone suggest the easiest way of doing this.
I am not experienced with wood working, but I don't mind a little tedium to do it myself.
Any help appreciated
Regards
Zanne
suppose both sides of the floor board were damaged?
Thanks for your advice. I might add that a great deal of the boards are damaged on both sides (the T&G sides) because it's very tiring work for people not used to demolition and hard to keep true for the whole 100 m2 that the house was.
Is a router still recommended?
Thankyou

Thanks for the assistance.
Getting into the job, I think the the hand power planer will be good enough.
I attempt to take the minimum off the board edges and the resulting boards range from 9mm to 12 mm.
Is this variability in width going to make the boards difficult to lay, or will it degrade the finish?
Thanks
