Hi,
I would like to glue a decorative edging of bubinga around a walnut serving tray, however I know that because of the movement of the wood, it is ill-advised. Here is my question: I know that the smaller the board, the less movement, so at some point a glued-on edging will be okay. What is the size threshold? Edging around a 4"x4" (inches) square piece I believe would be okay. On a 2'x2' (feet) square piece it wouldn't. Any thoughts on how large the board will be to prohibit edging would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
