Teak edge banding in glue-up

After the table was dyed (and two coats of epoxy applied) it was time to apply the teak trim.

My request was a table with no fiddles* which was almost a given as the two 'leaves' fold to the center to make a 'cocktail' table.

These are the two leaves of the table with some of the teak trim applied and being glued. The 'glue' Mark uses for this application is epoxy.

*For non-sailors, a fiddle is trim placed proud of a surface. The intent is to prevent stuff from sliding off but what usually happens is that they act as a catapult instead.
