I think I know the answer to this, but here goes anyhow...
I'm making a top for a dining table that will be about 68 inches long. Thought I had enough boards that long, but I came up a little short when I laid them all out. Making the table narrower is not a option.
So, do I head out to the lumberyard or have at least one section made up of two pieces butting each other? Other than aesthetics, is there a problem with this? Any special technique to use or just glue it up? The top is 5/4 walnut, which should mill out at about an inch.
What do you think?
