Hello,
I’m in the process of gluing up a panel for what will be a 48” round walnut kitchen table at 1.25” thick. Boards are 5.5” (ish) wide. The panel wider than usual for me. I’m using five 8mm X 50mm dominos for alignment and strength. The wood is kiln dried and actually pretty straight.
My question is whether it’s advisable to rout out a couple channels on the underside of the panel where I can screw metal C brackets to keep the panel more stable from cupping.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Brian
