Have just completed my first veneering project, a small demilune table with a walnut sunburst veneer pattern, for this I just used walnut veneer to edgeband after the top was done.

My next project I want to make a round table about 40" and have it edged with solid wood so I can rout a profile after it's done.

What is the best way to affix a solid wood edging to say an MDF substrate?

What I have thought of... make the substrate hexagonal, miter the edging, attach with biscuts, then bandsaw round, but this would make the veneer run over the edging much more than the 1/16 which others have said not to do.

Or... use a circle cutting jig for the router, and try to precisely cut a circular substarte that matches a circle cut from mitered up boards(hexagonal or more depending on width of boards). Would be afraid if it was off just a little would have gaps to fill between edging and substrate, maybe a polyurethane glue would be good for this part, this method wouldn't make it easy to re-enforce the joint with biscuts/splines though

Any advice?
Thanks

I made a curved edge table top recently. I took 1/4" thick strips and glued them to the edges. I did that 2 times to get a 1/2" thick edge. Plenty of wood to allow me to put a round over on the edge.

The challenge for doing that with a round table will be butting the strip neatly when you complete the circle.

Good luck, Carl

Mike:

A process is described in Kim Carleton Graves' book "Dining Tables" for just your project. It worked very well for me on both round and oval tables.
