I'm planning my bench as I've said. The top will be flat sawn boards standing on edge and face glued together, butcher block style. My question is about the aprons. I see these pictures of these nice dovetailed or finger jointed corners, but what about the movement of the wood? If I dovetail the front corners and glue them, then on the ends use a long M/T joint kind of tongue and groove style (not sure what that's called really) and pin it similar to bread board ends I think I'll be ok... but what about the back corners? If I dovetail them too then the top won't have anywhere to move. I could finger joint them and leave them unglued. Anyway what have you seen or what would you do?
Most of the pictures I've seen are amazingly unclear on this point.
Thnx
