DINING ROOM TABLE


This is an extension dining room table.

Cherry with oil finish.

Length: 62 inches closed, 98 inches with three leaves in place.





Detail: Fluting and chamfers on leg, stopped chamfer on table edge. Beading on apron edge.

Table top just over one-and-a-quarter inches thick.





Leaves are stored underneath. There's room for two leaves with aprons attached. Additional leaves have no apron, but a tablecloth will hide the gap.

Also visible is a "fifth leg", in stored position. It can be lowered for additional support when needed. Lee Valley extenders used.


The table is meant to complement, but not be the exact same style as the buffet and hutch behind it.

About 200 hours of work went into this.

You can see the fifth leg and aprons in this shot, but once chairs are in place, these are virtually invisible.

So.... time for some new chairs!
