I picked up some 50" "shorts". After making the top and the shelf I
will have some really wide short scraps left over. I could use them
to make the side pieces, so that the grain direction will be the same
as the top and shelf. I realize that they will be much weaker than
if the grain ran the other way, but it would allow me to glue the top
and shelf in since movement would not be an issue. I "think" that
would add more strength than the sides would take away.

What do you think?

I think it would be OK

Cabinets are built that way, why not tables?

Cabinets have bigger sides?
