I am making a solid cherry side table from 3/4” cherry boards. I already made up the panels by butt gluing multiple pieces together. I planned to run the boards vertically so the bottom and two sides would expand and contract at the same rates. The back obviously would run vertically too but when it is attached to the base the backs end grain would be attached to the base along the length of the last board. The top will be floated using runners with slots for the screws to account for expansion. I planned to cut a dado in the sides for the base to sit in to give it rigidity but am worried the expansion / contraction will break the glue bonds. |
