So it offers a really good, stable base for a work top, and although I have it covered with outdoor carpet and use pieces of hard rubber mat to work on, I can cover it with something else if I want. I used the left over strip as a backsplash, since it's up against a wall.

I'm going to build shelves and another table with exactly this. Flooring panels.

Me: "I'd like shop Maple please. The rejected A face grade".
Them: "Do you want low formaldehyde non CFC emitting glue lam?"
