100 reclaimed barn wood planks: 4.5 foot long X 6 inch wide X 3/4 inch thick.
Trying to get the weight down by half, by thinning to 3/8 inch thick.
See: Can barn wood planks be planed and how thin?
Planing could work but has significant risk (and some pieces have large long cracks and holes).
Instead, what about sanding each one:
- Is it possible or realistic to sand to 3/8 inch thickness (or thin by half) ?
Any possible damage by sanding ?
What type of sander would work ?
- How long is this going to take ?
EDIT
Intended Use: The wood planks are intended to be attached to a ceiling in a room. It is intended that the patina of one side of the barn wood is saved for it's aesthetics.
