Breadboard ends done correctly will allow for panel movement, and this will inevitably lead to "uneven" ends at different seasons and humidity levels. Do people just accept this as unavoidable? So far, the only technique I've come across is to accentuate it in a sort of Greene & Greene style by exaggerating the bread board ends and plugging the tongue with ebony. Any other ideas? All input appreciated.
If building solid wood tops the only real alternative is to
make your top frame and panel.
You can also make the breadboard end in 3 pieces,
fixed at the outside ends, with the inside ends of
the two outer segments running into a 3rd, central
decorative segment.
