I made one a few months back out of Cherry with shellac finish and it came out very nice. I used 1/2 inch for the sides instead of the 9/16 as Paul used, so I was extra careful in the clamping, but once glued together it is very sturdy and used as a music box.

So now I think the best two options would be to either re plane the table to dead flat or live with it. It does take eyeing and feeling it a bit to tell. I think I’ll live with it for awhile and see about planing it this fall.

I just measured the cup. At the worst end it measured 7/8th of a millimeter. At the opposite end it wasn’t measurable.
Talking about turn bottoms, I’ll try tightening them first since that’s the easiest. If that doesn’t work then I’ll try one of your guys’ ideas.
