I guess my question really was, which would you suggest - 2x6 "subtabletop", basically, with 1/4" ply then tiles, or bag the 2x6 studs, and just use 3/4" ply, something like that (there will be 3 upright 2x4 frames supporting whatever spans the length as a tabletop)?
Sorry for the hijack, just plan to finish the table this weekend, in prep for my Abondance make on Tuesday morning. Many thanks for any thoughts, Alp or others.
