    13. Edge-glue two 42" lengths of 1" x 8" stock (3/4" x 7-1/4" actual) to get
    enough width to make the two sides (part C), which measure 13"” wide
    (including the front and back tongue).

    42" long boards.
    15. Apply glue to both mating surfaces.
    16. Clamp securely with bar or pipe clamps, and allow to dry overnight.
    17. Rip the board to a width of 13".
