Sorry if this is a repost - problems with connections the first time.

I'm trying to build a plywood tabletop with a solid wood inlay in the
center. Table is 60" diameter with 16" square inlay (red oak).

Any problems with differential movement? Best way to avoid problems?

Inlay work into plywood should not be a problem other than chipout.
Movement should be fine if you are using a thin inlay.

Be very careful if you sand the top. The harder inlay pieces will sand down
slower than the surrounding plywood veneer resulting in the plywood being
lower than the inlay.

Or sanding through the veneer completely! Don't ask me how I
know......
