Shiplap using plywood
I want to do an accent wall using plywood strips for shiplap. I see all kinds of videos talking about cutting the plywood in 8" strips. My question is if I cut it in 8" strips won't the last piece be a little narrow due to the saw blade widths of the other cuts? Thanks for any help.

If you want to maximize your material, your rips would probably need to be 7 13/16" just to be safe. That way you would be sure to get 6 rips per 48" wide sheet with little to no scrap left over.
That assumes your blade is no more than 3/32" wide and that you will rip every piece perfectly with no wobbles or mistakes.
