I am about to make a table top but i'm concerned about movement of all the components against each other.
There will be smallish widths, about 2 to 3 in by 36in long. The main part will have about ten of these with a board running across the end grains.
I know this is a bad setup but cannot think of a way of covering the end grains. The wood will be Oak.
What is the best way to the 2 to 3in widths, T&G, biscuits or some other joint ??. What about the section across the end grains, should this be T&G with glue on the end only to allow a little movement, or biscuits here as well.
