Hello all,
I'm working with a lady on designing and building a large dining table (seats 10), with leaves for the ends. I will need to use solid wood (oak per her request), as I am inlaying abalone, and other various materials in it. Other aspects of the design are going to be rather straightforward, with a small skirt, and tapered legs, etc.
I'm hesitant to use drop leaves in the middle due to the pattern on the top, and would rather make leaves for the ends. I am looking to add about 2 foot leaves on either end of an 8 foot or so table.
Do you guys have any design reccomendations for adding two foot leaves ot the ends of tables in a sturdy manner? Are there some good resources out there to help me?
Thank you for allowing me to pick your brains on this one. Any responses are appreciated!
