herrwood,
When you are talking about 1" thick boards being 3/4", you are thinking of 4s boards. That is to say that they are already finished (jointed and planed to a nice smooth surface) on all four sides like you buy at Lowe's or Home Depot or a lumber yard.
When you talk about 4/4 boards (USUALLY) you are talking about rough cut wood which will vary from 1-1/16" to 15/16" thick so that a person can finish them himself with a planer and jointer. A 5/4 board would be around 1-1/4" thick and be rough cut and need to be finished.
As far as buying a 4s board of 1" thick (which would be a 5/4 when rough cut) I don't think you can find one any where unless you pay a mill operator to finish one out for you.
I know this seems confusing and unfair (If I pay for a 1 x 6 board, darn it I want it to measure 1" thick and 6" wide!) But, the truth of the matter is that your 1x6 will actually measure 3/4" x 5-3/4" (if not 5-1/2") That is just way it is!?
I live in a fairly old house (built in 1953) The studs in the walls measure 2" x 4". I added a bedroom to the house in 1977, the studs in those walls 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" and today if you buy wall studs, they will measure 1-1/2" x 3-1/2"! It just don't seem right does it?

There is a real simple solution besides not using Gmai. Do NOT link your smart phone to your google account. This is the window that they are using to get at you. Be smart and realize that a company will not contact you by email do to something unless you authorize it first. Do not open attachments, etc from people, companies that you did not specifically ask for the attachment from. Social Engineering is what phishing ( fishing ) is called. They attempt to trick you into doing their work for them however if you are smart and aware of what is going on you can defend successfully.

I like this pattern/idea Steve made.
This could be a nice gift or selling item....
Can imagine maybe Steve will making different shapes like Santa, reindeer for Christmas, or a turkey for Thanksgiving, etc.... (hint )
My thought is, maybe use Corian or these cheap plastic/poly cutting boards instead of wood. (no problem with steam/moisture)
The cutting boards are for sale in different colors for $ 2,-/3,- at the cheap discount shops.
just an idea....
