My experience consists of a couple of cutting boards and TRYING to make segmented bowl sections.
My tools are a palm sander, a Skil Saw, drills, a Ryobi Table Saw with a Freud blade, and 4 sleds. 2 are experiments I built and 2 were gifts from Mike who did the cutting board tutorial. (BTW, they are really NICE sleds!) a 90 degree and a 45 degree.
The task is from my wife. She got new office furniture and it lacks a modesty panel. Medium oak is the base finish. The panel hole is 28" x 48".
I was thinking just go to Lowes and get a 2x4 sheet of oak. Trim that. Then add a perimeter of Maple(?) for a contrasting look.
TO join the Maple and oak I was thinking saw cut grooves and use biscuits.
Do I stand a chance at success.
Should I just buy oak boards and glue them up?
Any ideas to make it look decent?
