I’m going to build some outdoor white oak tables for my daughter. They will be 12” in diameter and 1 3/4” thick. I'd like to put some sort of a lip around the perimeter to prevent glasses etc. from sliding off.
The first thing that comes to mind is to rip a piece of oak 2” wide & 1/4” thick and apply it around the outside edge. I’m afraid that approach is destined to fail due to expansion/contraction of the 12” slab.
Any other ideas to achieve my objective?
