    is there veneer on the table now? If so, have you removed it? What is the edge? Veneered or a moulding? Lots of information is needed before providing advice on how to proceed.

    1. Convenience: ship to house. No need to go pick it up.

    Was you steam box made with marine plywood? Mine is out of MDO but it is only a few months old. Seems to work pretty well. Michael Fortune recommends using marine plywood.

    If you are hand cutting them, I'd go with a 1:7 or 1:8 ratio so that they are more distinguishable as hand cut. I'd also suggest a ⅛" lip.
