My lumber supplier that I usually get slabs shipped from sent me this hard maple slab. The plan is to rip down the middle and simply use the two approx 8" pieces as the outer piece, and use normal hard maple stock to give me the correct dimensions the client is wanting. Either I wasn't careful enough inspecting the pictures prior to purchase, or they only sent me a photo of one side of the slab, either way its my fault for not doing my homework better on this slab. I can't return it, as the customer is needing the top done by the end of the month (January).
What would you guys suggest to "fix" this gap? Epoxy with hard maple sawdust?
I'd love to know your thoughts!IMG_8014.jpg
