Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to woodworking and would love your advice. I just edge-glued some 3/8" boards together to create an 8x10 board. I'm wondering if I can plunge route grooves into this thickness, say about 1/8" deep. Does that sound safe or a bit sketchy? I'm just dealing with some newbie anxiety here! Thanks a bunch!

Absolutely! You can route glued boards like they're one solid piece. The glue should cut just like the wood itself. Just make sure to take it slow and steady!
Honestly, it sounds a bit sketchy to me. Just double-check your setup and maybe try a test piece first.
But is 3/8" too thin to plunge into?
