Well, I think I agree with dadiOH that it will have adequate strength; but
after looking at other tables and cabinets, I also agree with Mark and
Josh
that it won't look right. Grain always runs the long way, but on these it
will run the short way. Since ribbon figure is pretty striking, the
effect
will be pronounced.

This is done on table aprons on a lot of period pieces, particularly French,
but is always veneered. If you really want the look of vertical grain, that
is the way to do it.
