Would it be safe to glue these boards end grain to edge grain?
The blue lines represent where the pieces will be glued (16" edge) and the red arrows are the grain direction. This would be made of solid ash. For large tables I've used breadboard ends and/or z clips to allow for movement, but with this being only 16", can I just glue these boards together in this orientation without having to worry about it? The alternative would be constructing the corners in the same grain direction which is doable but much more time consuming. #diy
