Hi: Eric, I assume you have received the magazine, and plan for the router table.
The reason the bottom of the table top is laminated is to prevent moisture from warping the top over time. If you have a cabinet shop around your area or a place that makes counter tops, you may be able to buy just enough additional laminate to do the bottom portion of the table. Most shops will throw laminate in those small sizes out, so you may get it for nothing. I have thrown out plenty of it after a large job.
