: If you were ripping strips from a good-sized plank, you could true
: up the edge (or face if it was narrow) of the plank with a
: jointer.
: To do this accurately for a ski-length plank would require a
: long-bed jointer.

: You cannot produce a board with parallel faces using a jointer. The
: usual procedure if starting with rough lumber would be to
: flatten one face of the plank with a jointer (which needs to be
: wider than the plank), and then put the plank through the
: thickness planer to get the second face parallel.

: Trying to surface a 1/8" thick strip on a jointer would be
: exciting, I think.

: As others have said, a good sawn surface is glue-ready for epoxy
: laminating. Or use your thickness sander setup on that thin
: stock.

John is absolutely correct, you can not produce parallel faces on a jointer. Are you trying to get stock down to 1/8" or clean up the faces for lamentation?
