This wedging table was developed with teacher input. It has a solid maple apron and legs. But the real feature is the top. The top is a 1 1/4" plastic laminate top covered with canvas. The wedging table's canvas top is held on with Velcro making it east to remove, clean and reattach. The top also has a clay cutter wire mounted to the top and angled across the depth of the top. The wire is secured with a twist-lock fastener, so if the wire stretches, you can easily tighten it again.
