<p>I would echo Jay's comment. This is VERY important ANY time you join wood together.</p>

<p>Looks like you put a lot of thought into this project. Nice job! My only recommendation for all who glue up table tops or other wide members out of wide lumber is beware. Todays wood does have a tendency to cup even kiln dried lumber so when helping woodworkers glue up wide pieces I always recommend that wide boards are ripped to 3" to 4" maxium widths. While you need to match grain a more stable piece will result. The extra cuts, ripping, gluing will be rewarded in a stable top. </p>

<p>Thanks, it was a house warming gift for my daughter and son-in-law. I saw your post as a link in most recent e-mail from Kreg Jig and thought "Hey, I recognize that table!" so I had to share mine. The inlayed tiles was my wife's idea, the colors matched the freshly painted walls in their dining room. I'll tell you I have lost many hours of the day looking at plans on Ana-White.com, she has so many great projects with easy to follow instructions. Your pub table looks great, love pub…</p>

<p>I did this same table from Ana White's plans. The Kreg Jig made is so easy. I also built the table top separatly and attached it to the frame with jig holes in the apron and 2x2 supports. Also, I used 2x6s for table top then planed and sanded to get it even (probably the longest part of the project). Final table size was 8' x 44". Yours turned out great!</p>

<p>Your table looks nice. If I were to make any suggestions I would say that while I generally wouldn't use construction lumber for furniture the wider stuff is usually the clearest and most stable. Construction lumber is usually a little damp and tends to be knotty. You can find decent stock if you search, however. I once made a table top from douglas fir 2x stock. I used 2x12's and planed them to 1 1/8" and ripped them to width. It turned out nice though it did shrink a little. As much as I…</p>

I think that you will find working with hardwoods much easier, not to mention enjoying the natural beauty that comes through when finishing. I understand being hesitant to use hardwoods simply for the expense. I save the expensive wood for just one or two projects a year. Good job.</p> Jennifer,

<p>Jennifer,</p>
<p> Nice job looks great. Another approach would be to do away with edgebanding and do it mission style by leaving a gap between the boards. I've done this on smaller tables and it worked well.</p>
