I'm in the process of planning a Mission Style QS White Oak dinning table. The table will be 44" square with two 11" leaves that slide under each end of the table. I've read where some say that the boards for the table top should be 3" wide, but want to use boards that are approximately 5" wide. I usually make the tops of coffee and end tables using biscuits to glue the boards together and plan to do the same here. I think breadboard ends will be needed for the top and if that is the case I would probably want them on the leaves at each end. How wide should the breadboard end be?
Any help or input you have will go a long ways in making my day.
