I used a piece of 3/4" blank veneer core ply. The inner is plies and there is a thin skin of mdf on each side. Nice and flat and won't sag like 3/4" mdf will on such a big piece. It also holds screws well.

Re: Cocobolo Conference Table

How do you feel about the longevity of the table top being that you used 1/4" "veneer" as opposed to a much thinner veneer? It has been my experience (I learned the hard way) that a veneer of that thickness will act like solid wood and will warp and self-destruct over the long term, no matter how well you have sealed it.

As a side note, you will get a much more symmetrical matching pattern by using a thinner veneer since the pattern shift will be much less from piece to piece.

The table is nice looking though.
