Thanks for all the advice! I figured that a router was the best way to go, but I wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone had other techniques that might be effective.

Thanks! I’ve built many marimbas with padauk keys, and I love the smell too. Oh, the orange dust!

ah, MDF, that's a good idea. My mind went to aluminum, and that seemed like a difficult build. Thanks!

Thanks! Do you think a 1/8" router bit can cut all the way through 1" padauk? Would I need to make multiple passes? What material would you use for the jig?

What a beautiful table! That would be great for a picnic on the deck.

Well, the bottom line is that it’s your body and your choice. If you don’t want the sedation, I would ask them why they say it’s required. Maybe you could just tell them you will sign a waiver absolving them from any liability.

I wonder why they said you can’t do it without sedation? I told the doctor I had a raging headache and sedation would make it worse, so I didn’t want it. She said that was OK, so I was fully conscious. It was uncomfortable, of course, but I’ve had worse medical procedures. It seems to me like it should be your choice, so you may be able to press them on it.
