Plane a board with an angle
That profile is probably time-consuming to make by yourself without specialized machines.
But sure. Maybe you can mill the groove and then plane the angle in a surface planer if you first make a jig that locks the side you're planing at the right angle relative to the top.
If you're going to do it with handheld tools, you probably need to have a lot of time and very little money.

Damn it! Thanks for the idea!E Eld said:That profile is probably time-consuming to make yourself without special machines.

So buying ready-made might be "cheaper" after all.
I could have easily fixed it with the band saw and vertical mill, but I would probably still choose to buy ready-made if I wanted to. Running sticky pressure-treated softwood through machines requires a bit of cleaning that I prefer to avoid.
Ok! Maybe a "wood workshop" can help me plane it downHep said:
What kind of company am I looking for then, I wonder?
I can't speak for others and what they charge, but if the total price for the purchased boards is 12,000, it will be difficult to save by having someone shape spruce planks for you. Spruce is sticky, so if you can't find someone who usually works with it, cleaning will be an additional cost beyond the work and timber. Those I know who work with spruce do floors and similar and don't have the tools to "fine shape" timber.C chali405 said:
Yes, it was a great tip with fjällpanel!H Hans G2 said:
Yes, both sides will be visible, I'm considering joining two panels so it fits into the groove of the concrete post.
Thanks for all the answers! 🙂Hep said:

Spruce is sticky, so if you don't find anyone who usually works with it, cleaning will be added on top of labor and wood.
