I am working a design for a coffee table and am thinking about using Parallam as the angled legs in the picture below. The curved wood in the base will be a walnut laminated glue up, and a tempered glass top. A few questions/issues I am having:
1. How hard is it to work with Parallam? Anyone have any experience? I see the Turners use it some for bowls and such.
2. What kind of abuse will it put to saw blades and router bits?
3. Suggestions for connecting the curve to the angled legs? I was thinking about dowels with exposed heads.
4. What is the best way to cut the opening?
I have considered cutting the angled legs in half for assembly, then gluing them back together.
I appreciate the help, as always.
