You meant for that edge to look like the saw got away from you when when you were cutting it, right?
Very funny but yes. There was intention or i would have put out some money for the best tool to make perfectly smooth cuts.
I don't have a router. No one i know has a router.
I'm not a fan of renting from Home Depot b/c you never know what you will get (e.g. a really dull or bent blade for example...i had a no so great experience before with another tool).
I've been contemplating a band saw for awhile but need to find a place for storage and need to find more uses for it before i can justify buying it.
With that being said, i had only a trusty jigsaw for this job. However, it is an outdoor table top and it gives the wood a more rough cut look so i'm not bothered by it. The wife is perfectly happy with it which is what matters most.
The finishing job helps at least.
1/2 inch Birch plywood with burled maple veneer edging adhered with Titebond III wood glue, sanded to 400 grit and 3 coats of clear semi-gloss spar urethane (oil based).
