A:  No...but it’s ready to finish with a slight sanding.

A:  it is not prefinished

A:  NO

A:  No, the panel is not sealed. You will need to apply a finish of your choice.

A:  Yes, can be done. Tape the area to be cut with 3M blue painters tape, this will help eliminate the cut edges from getting a rough edge. You will need to band the edge with cherry trim after. I used a heat gun to get the glue to adhere.

A:  Yes, the 3/4" panel is cherry on face and back.

A:  Yes, its veneered on both sides.

A:  Hello, The panel will work for the table top. The edge will not blend well. I would recommend using lumber to trim the edge and then router the lumber trim.

A:  No amount of stain or finish will hide the fact that the edge is plywood. I suppose you could paint it, but you'd still have a difference in the texture (the plywood layers are coarser wood, and would not be as smooth as the surface veneer. If you want a decorative edge detail (instead of using edge banding), then my suggestion is to do the edge detail on solid wood, and affix that solid wood to the edge of the plywood veneer with tongue/groove or similar typical method for attaching solid edge to plywood.

A:  You need to put veneer on edges. Veneer strip could probably tolerate some rounding of edges but not much. You also might want a thicker ply than 3\4 for a table top.

A:  I would use a 1X2, or some other dimension of solid cherry to cover up the edge. The plywood edges of the cherry plywood will not be hidden from staining.

A:  I you are buying that many pieces the shipping should be free. It was for me.

A:  Hi, price and availability vary by location, so you would have to add 5 pieces to the shopping cart and go through the order process to see the total cost of shipping.
