yves Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) This is a table I made in 2012. The client finaly sent me pics. It can sit ten people comfortably, 8 feet long and something like 40 inches wide, I forgot.The tresle desing, inspired by Shaker woodwork frees the persons from the trouble of the legs. The dragonnfly silhouette design of the forged end supports, permits to sit people comfortably at the ends. It has been in use for 3 years and the client is still happy.The table in the woodwork shop just before leaving.In the client's appartment, folded.Open :The dragonfly silhouette.The folding system, upper and lower. Hinges.Link between the tresles and the top.The bolts linking the legs to the cross piece. Edited May 24, 2015 by yves Typing errors.

yves Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I have not checked in a while. If I remember well, the wood cost me something like 475$ or 500$. It was perfect wood as you can see, very little white and straight, dry etc.The side planks were 2 inches thick more than 1-3/4" was left after dressing. The center boards were 1 inch.It is an oil finish easy to maintain. Looking at the pics though I believe the client ought to feed the table some oil ... Edited May 25, 2015 by yves More info.
