Well, the women decided they want the old, old rustic cypress used as the top. 1 board 14-1/2” wide, about 12’ long; the second about 17’ or so. The finished length of the top needs to be about 80” and the width 39-40”. Their instructions were cut the boards as little as possible and make it work.
So, I did. Very uneven glue up. Dramatic cracks which will get butterflied and warpage which required hand planing to get edge to edge contact.
Here we are in the bed of the truck; coming back to the shop after dry fit. They want me to just “make it work.”
Never done something like this; it feels wrong but the customer is always right—even when they not paying.
