I am making a peninsular for a customer's kitchen. They want the worktop to be made in waney edged ash (to match their existing worksurface) and because its a peninsular, they also want the wane on both edges! They already have the timber - which is actually two very nice air dried boards, but both will need to be ripped to remove a large central check and various other imperfections which while attractive, would also remove the functionality of the worktop!
My quetsion is this - what is the best way to clamp up the the boards when rejoining. With both edges waney, there isnt any straight surface to clamp against. I had thought about sandwiching the outer boards and then using these straight edges as the clampable edges but I can't help think that there will still be movement when I start to tighten up the lateral clamps.
Any thoughts
