I am making a pyramid trunk coffee table out of red oak and am down to making the lid. The frame for the lid is made out of 1 x 3s and the top will be out of high grade oak plywood.
My issue is that if I lay the plywood on top of the frame, then it will hide the frame joints, but the ply sides will show. I have some roll on ply vaneer stripping, but am not sure I can get it to look really nice. I could also recess the ply inside the lid frame, (flush with the top of the frame), but the joints will show?
Any suggestions where to go with this, or other solutions.
