I do have a small amount of wood movement which means that the corners at each end are sometimes misaligned but it doesn’t bother me at all. The movement is about 3mm either side. The end boards run the full width of the table so they are able to move without impacting the the ends of the long trim pieces

Vic, been enjoying your projects for quite a while now, they’re entertaining, professional and a real joy. One question, how long have the ends (bread board) been attached? Reason being there is a broad cross grain situation going on, with glue and screws holding things together there is pretty good chance of things splitting, cracking and checking. Assuming you have some humid and dry seasons. Keep up posting and creating great projects, Thanks!

Hi Robert, thanks for the great feedback. The table is showing no signs of distress or destruction. I've made a few projects now with joints or techniques that, if you listen to popular belief, should have failed but none of them have. Maybe its our climate here but we still get extremes of humidity and dry weather.

Thanks, Vic. Wish I had known about your channel when I lived in Cottesloe (WA), 2009-2011, could have done a road trip, similar to the one I took on the Nullarbor. Boy that was great. Wood species and how the wood was cut both play big parts in seasonal movement. Plain sawn being the worst, rift sawn and quarter sawn usually exhibit much less seasonal expansion. With your reclaimed lumber you could easily be dealing with nice old quarter sawn wood, that would have the least seasonal expansion. Keep in mind, I’m no expert, still trying to learn something new just about every day. Cheers.

Beautiful improvement! Have you had any issues with wood movement and those trim pieces? I'm looking to do something similar, but was wondering if the trim around the edges would cause a problem.

Is this an outdoor table? I can't imagine trimming a solid wood table is going to work out well in the long run with wood shifting.

Yes it is, and there is wood movement. It’s noticeable at the end of the trim pieces at each end of the table. The worst I’ve seen it is about 2-3mm and I’m totally fine with that.

@@DownUnderWoodWorks Yeah, especially with butted ends on the trim, it seems like the edges would look ok. I would still worry that screwing it on the short ends would cause the table top to split over time. There are all kinds of methods people have developed to attach breadboards to the ends of solid tables that should work the same for trim. Your table looks really nice though!

dude. you can't do that. You bonded a lengthwise grain with end grain. there's over 1/4 inch of movement on each side of the edge. it could start ripping itself apart on both left and right edge. In the future, you need to NOT glue the edges, instead use a dovetail slot all the way down the edge. and you shouldn't screw all the boards on the bottom to a support runner like that. same reason. the wood movement will make EVERY board cup on the top. or maybe you get lucky and have your screw holes rip a slot and they move a little bit and you think it's ok
