I planed them down to 1" thick and put a tongue and grove on them. I am
now
in the process of gluing them together.

Not sure I'd do that, seems maintaining a gap, say 1/8"-1/4" between planks
to accomadate expansion would bew a better solution.

I would like your advice on what to do next. I intended on covering them
with polyester cloth and polyester resin.

Polyester makes a lousy glue, wouldn't do it not only for that reason but it
won't accomodate the expansion/contraction of the wood with the change in
seasons.

I have only used epoxy in the past, but figure polyester will be the
better
choice because it is UV tolerant.

I'm an epoxy shop, but would'nt use it for the reasons already stated.

Does this make any sense, or am I missing something such as compatibility
of
materials.

IMHO, you are, see above for reasons.

Any advice would be appreciated.
