1/8" is a good size. I am doing all my cutting with a Laguna Resaw King blade and while this blade isn't the thinest blade I have ever used, it is very accurate for what I am doing. You will lose a lot of wood making these blanks, they are definetely not for those that are worried about the amount of wood it takes. I figure that every 360 takes about 3-4 full size blanks to make one. Right now, I am considering making one out of cocobolo burl but I really have to think about that one.I think I got a little ambitious with my first blank, I made them ~1/8" thick....I thought I would never get finished with that thing! The one I'm working on now I made the pieces a little thicker. I need to get a thicker blade for the band saw as I am losing a bunch in the thickness of the blade, for every cut I make I lose almost as much as I keep.
