Board size question

[andes]

Need some advise; I need to carve something on a board that is 3 3/8" wide, 23 5/8" long. Do I need to use a sled, or can I make the carving without the sled? Ok, I know it a dum question, but I needed to ask LOL.

Small Workpiece - The minimum acceptable size of a workpiece that can
be inserted into the CarveWright is 1.5 inches wide x 0.5 inches thick x 7
inches long. It will be necessary to mount the workpiece onto a jig if any
single dimension is smaller than the stated minimums.
Large Workpiece - The maximum size of a workpiece is limited only by
the physical size of the CarveWright machine, and is 14.5 inches wide x 5
inches high x12 feet long. All workpieces over 3 feet long will require that
additional stand-alone outfeed support rollers be used. The support
rollers should be adjusted properly to avoid letting the workpiece sag or
rise, as any transition going on and off the rollers will be reflected in the
carved surface in a manner similar to a snipe.
The weight of the workpiece is also a limiting factor, related to both quality
of the carving and longevity of the drive mechanism. Any workpiece more
than 20 lbs in weight places increased stress on the drive mechanism and
will accelerate wear of the system.
