We have been working with many different species of woods in our tables, and making designs so boards are running in different directions. The design is then finished with 3/8 purpleheart trim going around the table and then capped with 2in zebrawood around table. I was told my another woodworker than encapsulating the other woods with this 'purpleheart' rectangle wasn't allowing the other boards to move a bit. We had one purpleheart board cup within our table but that piece was 6-8in wide, so we are now only using smaller accent strips of purpleheart. What is the best way to assure proper construction? We use dowels and titebond glue in our tops. I will post a picture if need be.
Thanks,
Vincent
