I will soon start to make a coffee table for a friend. We are enthused by a beautiful piece I saw on the internet. I think the edge bevel needs a thick board, 1 1/4" to 1 1/2", to show it to advantage. I did not think I had one and did not think I could afford one, but I found 2 suitable cherry among several from the early 1990s when we lived in PA. The vertical board on the right has a tag reading $12 and a wider one I haven't yet muscled off the rack. was $15.
