I have read a lot of discussion on this site concearning this topic. Most have said that a Formica type of material is a great choice.
I recently read an article in American Woodworker (I belive that was the publication) that used tempered hardboard for the top surface. They also said to coat the table with an occasional butchers wax to assist in gliding the material accross the top surface.
Has anyone used hardboard for their top surface? If so, what is your take? If not, also what is your take?
I am not opposed to using it, my only concearn with using Formica and gluing it down is not getting a flat surface.
Once again, and as always, thanks for the input.
