I’m making a 6 foot QS white oak table. I’ve laminated 3 QS boards for the legs. The legs are now 3.5” square. I planned to do a 2 side taper, down to 2”.
I just realized, I’ll be cutting through one of the laminated glue lines to do this. The table will just be getting an Arm-r-sea finish. The runout through the laminated glueline will be on the inside of the leg, since the tapers are on the insides.
Alternatively I could keep it at a 1” taper And go from 3.5” down to 2.5”, and avoid cutting through any of the lamination. But I don’t find this as aesthetically pleasing as going down to 2”.
What wins here? Less taper and don’t cut through the glueline.
Or stick with the larger taper that looks better, but cut through the glue line.
Thanks.
