Anytime you are mixing wood species you face the dilema of different rates of moisture exchange or movement. Pine being much softer will move more so Jerry's idea of using a veneer on both sides has great merit. This is like when we build a plastic laminated router table top we cover both the top and bottom with laminate. When you limit movement on one side you are looking for trouble.
