Thanks for replying with your method in getting the top into round and finishing it into its final shape. My bandsaw is a benchtop model, not having the power or the stability on its narrow base for such a cut. I would have opted to use my circle cutting router jig to size and remove the excess. When this pandemic is resolved, and the wife and I can resume looking for new home, its my hope we will find a place with workshop space that will allow for a full-size, free-standing bandsaw. Again, well done.
