Day 4721 - Day 338 - A Study In Wood
This represents my dilemma in my project, and the pros and cons that I face. :
The top board has a nice grain and is easy to route, but it naturally bows and warps (very bad pro) and is very, very soft. It is also limited in the width I can get.
The bottom board is hard, sturdy, without bow and I can cut to almost any width I'd need- but I'm not a fan of the layered view.
I believe the bottom board comes with the best "wins", and the fewest challenges; and with the right joint or routing I would minimize that layering I am not a fan of.
