@ Gerry – 1×4???? Wow. That must have been pretty impressive lanes. These are just the 1×2s I seem to find in most places that are selling bowling lane wood (Craig’s List) and most local lanes.

As for the veneer…it is a 1/4” sheet wood with a plastic veneer glued to it. Some lanes are stripped to the original 1×2s but still have remnants of the glue on them.

PaulLL - here in Houston HD they have the 735 for $629 and that includes the extra set of knives and out feed tables.

gfadvm seems to have the most logical idea. I will get the 24-50 grit sandpaper and prep them first before I go ruining any planing blades.

Thanks guys.
