I am starting a cherry table project this weekend. I just got back from the
lumber yard $250.00 for the lumber. I am semi-copying the design from a
catalog (thanks for the dimensions Ethan Allen!!. (By the way the table
sells for $1,200.- Ouch!)

For the legs the Woman wants them 2.5" at the top and tapering down to some
dimension to be determined. I am going to laminate 3 4/4 boards to get the
required width. I have never done this before. Here is how I plan on doing
it:

Rough cut to width and face joint all joining faces. Apply glue and clamp
the **** out of it. Clean one edge, joint and rip other side etc.

Is there something I need to really pay attention to in doing this
lamination? Is it easier than I think? I think I am worried about seeing
small voids between laminations after I rip to width.
