OK, here's the scoop. I need to build what is basically a tabletop about 5 1/2 feet square. It will be supported around its outer edge only, and I need to keep the weight down. I would like to use a foam core, edged with red cedar and epoxy the whole works. I am curious what the thoughts are on different cloth configurations and weights. The whole thing can't be more than 2" thick, so I'm thinking of using unidirectional cloth at right angles to limit deflection in the middle of the panel unless anyone can suggest a better alternative. As always, all advice is appreciated.
