New Top Possibility

From my grandfather's feedback, I've begun thinking of the suggested way to attach the top. His idea will use the smallest amount of wood possible, as the frame will be small, yet the top still large. According to him, it will be similar to how a tabletop is attached. The top will contain two layers, the top layer will be the nicer looking wood with about a two-five inch overlap of the under layer. The frame will be built to have the under layer nicely slide in, and the top will stop it from going all the way through. This is an incredibly simple yet fantastic design, and as soon as I have time I will draw it up in Inventor.
