If you want to get the edges nice and straight why not use a straight edge of some kind and a router with a 30mm guide bush and 12.7mm cutter. Measure back from the edge of the board at both ends approx 10-12mm and place your straight edge on the marks and clamp down tight then when you put your...
Thank you Fitzroy and StuartPaul for your observations and recomendations they have made me think a bit about this table. I think I will take your advice and not glue it but just use the screws and give it a few months or so and see what it looks like so at least I can remove the top without...

TIA.

Following a thread else where on this forum about using hardwood worktops for projects, this is the latest table I have made from leftover bits of Oak Worktop .
Used to be a Kitchen fitter till resigning/retiring in July, this was one of the things I made during lockdown. Used to be able to get all sorts of worktop offcuts/ripouts(good lengths) and have made thing and turned things from them( Oak,Beech and Maple).
