Assuming proper alignment, is clamp n glue of the planks good enough joinery for long-term stability?
minus-squareDontHurtMe23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoTo echo what the others here have said, long grain to long grain glue is very strong. Dowels/biscuits/dominoes are helpful for alignment, but for a table top it won’t do much to increase strength.
