Tabletop Panel Construction

with Mike Charlem

Tuesday, October 6, 2026, 6 PM - 9 PM

Most hardwood suppliers locally do not carry wood wider than 12”, unless it’s special ordered. If you plan to build a tabletop, 3 – 4 feet wide or more, in most cases it will require joining hardwood boards edge to edge to get the desired width. This class explores the methods used to edge join multiple narrow boards for a useable tabletop. You will develop the proper skills to build a tabletop panel that is straight and flat that requires minimal milling and sanding once completed.
