I have searched and found some helpful information, but I can't seem to get a straight answer for this specific situation.
I am building a dining room table (42 X 84) for a friend similar to the one I built us a few years ago. The top is supposed to be 1.5" thick, and I have a full garage of 4/4 cherry.
So my obvious question is, can I face glue to increase thickness? And if so, do my laminations need to be same sized boards, or can I offset the joints as I go?
I realize the end grain will look terrible, and I am thinking about doing a breadboard end or something to hide that, and maybe a thin veneer on the side.
Thoughts?
