I've done a couple of table tops with a mitred frame and the center being a veneered substrate, but it never seems to be perfect, It usually seems I end up with a small area that the substate is higher than the frame or vise versa.
I'm getting ready to make another one for a writing desk and I want it to be very nice, with a high gloss finish I dont want to see alot of waves from sanding out height errors.
I've used my domino cutter referencing off of the top surfaces to do the last couple of projects.
So whats the best advice, leave the frame proud of the substrate and have someone run it through a drum sander(I dont own one)?? or leaving the frame proud and hand planing it??
