Your glazier is best equiped to do this. For a table top you should be
using 6mm minimum thickness and the glass should be tempered. I think
they use a leather wheel impregnated with diamond abrasive.
I'm sure an oilstone will take the edge of ok but it will be difficult to
get a presentable edge. Could you put it in a wooden frame?


Bob, Thanks for the tips. Yes, I do intend to drop the glass into a
hardwood frame. The dulling of the edges will be more for the sake of
anyone who takes the glass out in the future than anything.

Thanks also to the other commenters.
