      Russell ,

              Will there be a drop edge molding ?

           Will the top overhang on the ends and the fronts , usually they do .

              The center top sticks out past the center box and the ends butt to the edges of the center top at about the overhang intersection .

             If I was molding it I would make an inside miter at the intersection .

                              regards        dusty

   Thanks for the reply.

   Yes, the edge will overhand about a 1". I was thinking at the intersection it would need a 45 degree miter. Additionally, the center section top would have to be indented the width of the edging past the edging where the two tops meet.

   Russell,

   If the 3 parts are conceived as separate pieces of furniture that are standing next to each other, then each one has to stand on its own. The tops will barely touch each other and the cabinets will have some space between them.

   If it's all one unit (just made in 3 parts for your convenience) then I'd look hard at making the top in one piece.

   Either way, I'm not answering your question, I'm avoiding it.

   If the tops are 3 pieces that will end up looking like one top, join them together using a spline or bisquits minus glue.  Plane or sand the top surface flush.  Rout the whole thing as one piece then use a chisel to shape the inside corners to look like a miter.  You can then take it apart for delivery and reassemble on site.
