First the dress rehearsal on a piece of plywood.
When I’m happy then the real thing. Just like my other fields and hobbies — always test/practice/prepare
before production.

Plywood tends to chip out. If you are using an up cut bit try a down cut bit. You tend to get less tear out at the top of your cut. If you are already using a down cut it might just be the nature of plywood. Always a good idea to test before committing expensive wood.

Knew that. Tx. The production will be a pine 2 ft table top from Lowes. I’m going to cover it with tape for both painting purposes and chip control. And use a down-cut bit.
Final piece. Came out pretty nice. I taped the whole top to control any chip out. And afterward, I used a dental pick to get into the small corners to get out any remaining dust that got packed in.

If I were to start over, I might turn the grain at 90°, but this is still OK.

Great item! Do you fill it with resin?
His employees are going to finish it. They like doing those things.
