Hey guys, working on a hall table in cherry. The top is two boards edge glued, cut to width but still a couple inches longer than final length. The first time I placed the top on the base, it did not sit perfectly flat on the base. There was a gap, probably 1/16" or less, between the top and the base in the right front corner. No big deal, I figured once its screwed into place it'll close up, and even if there's the smallest gap, no one will know but me. Couple days later, the top is still where I left it on the base. This time the gap had closed up a bit and I was very pleased. Next I removed the top to fill a very small knot hole with dyed epoxy, so it was haphazardly positioned on cauls for a few days while the epoxy set up. I set the top back on the base tonight and the gap is huge, probably close to 1/8". Still counting on those screws to sink it down, but it is possible the top will relax a bit from its own weight and that gap will close? It was perfectly acceptable before, now its bothersome. Anyone have a similar experience?
