OP: I was HOPING that someone would say that it was a new standard size.
I used it all in making picture frames today, it gives the frame a
different look. (with a half dozen different shaped router bits you are
always looking for ways to make them different.)
I was down at the lumber store the other day and they had 1.5" sizes
that could be ripped, to get the 3/4" size. However as thin as it is, I
am not sure I want to try to rip it.
Would this be something that would be used in the installation of a
knotty pine wall, ie spline between the panels?
Thanks for responding.
