He wasn't too thrilled with ebonized maple wedges
It's almost like Kevin is willing this to happen...

I rejointed the edges, each side bowed 1/16". I'm pretty sure I went from slab to glued up panel too quickly.
Should have cut the boards and let sit a month.
After jointing, I gave each piece a few swipes with 80 grit, then wiped with naphtha, wet one side, then glued with gorilla glue

I'd have considered a spline....
Tongue & groove?
Or some butterfly inlays....
Or using a Domino.......

No biscuits or dominoes get used in my shop.
A good edge grain glue up is plenty strong. No need for T&G, splines or anything else.
Emphasis is on good.
This joint was prepped well, and fit tight. Then the wood shifted and bowed. Had I used butterflies, the boards would have cracked in a different spot

What kind of wood is it? looks like walnut in some of the pics. Guess it had some more moving to do. I made quite a bit of furniture when I live in San Diego and it held up great for years (humid coastal climate) as soon as I move to AZ I had those kinds of issues with several pieces. Moving geographical locations with solid wood is a bitch....
