  • I'd say ask an engineer...

    Ha! I should probably get my calculator out. I reckon it rather depends on how heavy my cereal bowl will be...

    Here's a rough sketch. I've got opportunities to add support/ legs later, so in some ways I'm just thinking out loud. It's Worktop Express beech, so staves glued together. Their assembly instructions suggest overhangs exceeding 200mm need a supporting leg, but then their documentation for those legs says they're needed for overhangs exceeding 300mm! Perhaps the confusion is between worktop thicknesses of 27mm and 40mm.

  • What direction is the grain running? If left to right, I would think it would be ok. If top to bottom, I would be wary of the wood splitting along the grain.
