I'm in the process of building a table top for a small stand, would like to glue 2" strips of pine wood to a plywood substrate in a chevron pattern just like the pictures below.
I'm thinking of using adhesive caulking instead of TB III and then stapling each piece, I only want to use adhesive caulking because it'll stay flexible after it drys and therefore it'll allow for the wood movement , and since plywood will expand/contract at a different rate than the pine, Titebond 3 would not be the ideal glue .
Am I on the right track? would you have a better idea? maybe no glue / adhesive sealant at all, just staple? or maybe edge glue the pine and let it float on the plywood just like floating laminate flooring?
How would you do it?
I'll appreciate all your inputs.
