With respect to your question, I made a set of end tables and a coffee table with inset tile tops a while back. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/thecraftsmanspath/TheCraftsmanSPath02/photo#5121025797372935458" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a picture the coffee table which shows the tile the best. I just used standard thin-set tile adhesive to adhere the tiles to a baltic birch substrate (this was enclosed within a White Oak frame). I then taped off the oak with painters tape and grouted with regular sanded grout with some latex additive for flexibility. It worked great and the tables have held up to my kids abuse for bout 3 or 4 years now! --Mark <a href="http://thecraftsmanspath.com" rel="nofollow">The Craftsman's Path</a> Hey Al,
