Even when you buy premilled 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.
