The following is from r/woodworking which got LOTS of different answers. Since WC has always catered to experienced woodworkers, I'm curious as to what ya'll would suggest. Ignore if not interested, or respond if you enjoy sharing your knowledge on such things.
I cut and glued this up a couple days ago. The 4 border pieces fit perfectly in a dry fit. Glued up with titebond 3 and clamped overnight. Next day unclamped and saw the large split at one corner and the others are slightly opened too but this corner was the worst. Used biscuits to align to the inner square. All Sapele (African mahogany.
I plan to trim off the 2” border pieces and try again but looking for suggestions for glue up and whether to use biscuits, dominoes, or something else. Possibly cut a tongue & groove between the inner and the border pieces…? TIA
