It is probably more cost effective to buy flat sawn lumber, rip it and then turn it 90 deg when you re-laminate.
I know a guy that does lumber as a side job so the price was better than flat sawn from a lumber yard.

quarter sawn wood poll

I have about 20 boards of quarter sawn ash being kiln dried right now. The gain of the lumber is straight as it gets and it got me thinking. Does this lumber need to be ripped and glued in order to make a core?
