I am working on a project per my lead designer's (Wife's) specifications, and I need some advice. It is a large dining room table and the top is going to be constructed by gluing up segments of walnut. The segments will vary from 12 to 24 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1 1/8 inches deep.
My question is this: Will it be enough to edge glue the segments together or will I need to join them somehow? I am hoping that edge gluing is sufficient because joinery on so many segments would be a significant undertaking (as if milling that many pieces from rough sock is not). If edge gluing is sufficient is there a particular glue that would be recommended/required? I use Titebond II for most of my work now and would love it if edge gluing with that will be sufficient.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
