I am getting ready to build an office desk out of 1" pecan and was wondering how to finish the ends. I could breadboard them, but that would not look the best on a desktop. What about making the top about 2" longer than I need and use the cutoff to give the look of a 2" piece. The front and back would also have a piece of 1" stock glued to them, (where cross grain is not a problem.) I would miter the side and end pieces to give a finished look
Since the end piece is also cross grain, of the same board, there should be no glue up problems, Right?
