So I've finally gotten the two bottom pieces built for the computer desk. But now comes the top. I wanted to use solid wood (edge glued) to make a piece that's 6' long by about 25" deep. She's afraid it's going to turn out "bumby" across the seams and suggests I use a plywood top w/solid wood trim to profile. I have a 6" jointer and a 12" planer.
So my question is, if I opted for her route, how about a nice veneer. If so, where would I get it?
I've seen alot of ya'll put up pics with nice FLAT tops of edge glued pieces. I want to try that, but I don't know if I can sell her on it. And I've also seen some nice veneered tops too.
Need some ideas please. If I can figure out how to show her there won't be any bumps in the road, I should be good to go. If it would be easier for the veneer, then I'll bite and go there too.
Thanks for the inputs
