I have a woman that wants a table top made out of 2 inch thick Walnut wrapped in a band and the corners mitered. How can I do this with out the miter's splitting from the expansion of the field pieces. The top is 60 long and 36 wide. The band is probably going to be around 4 inches wide. I am not going to be using that many small boards it will probably be 4 boards depending on what my lumber guy can mill up. I want to use something with some figure on it so he is checking his logs to see what he has and will be milling it up next week.
