Anyone have experience working with large tops using Jatoba? I have 3 8/4 boards I bought today to make into a 9’ x 30” table top. It’s incredibly heavy and hard but was too beautiful and different from my usual walnut and oak choices to pass up.
I’m not too concerned about milling the boards flat and square and doing a typical edge glue up. I’m wondering if I need to do anything special to keep it from cupping over time though. It’ll sit on a metal structure with some points that allow screws to hold it securely down and allow for movement. But those points can flex so if this wood is known for cupping I’m wondering if I need to do more to keep it flat over time. I’m in northeast so lots of seasonal movement…
