For an interior table I'm building for a guys boat, I've sawn a particularly pretty piece of curly cherry into veneers and plan on adding those to a substrate of plywood surrounded by a cherry frame. My thoughts are to add the cherry edging, 2" wide, to the plywood, then glue the veneer completely covering the hardwood and ply substrate. I could then radius the corners and shape the edges of the entire piece. I have a piece of veneer core cherry plywood that would be big enough to use. Will I need to glue a balancing veneer to the bottom? Can you think of a reason not to use the cherry plywood?
thanks
