Walnut Dining Table

Nice. How did that beech turn out Jon took down.

 

Wasn't too soft?

Very nice.

 

However, shouldn't there be some sort of longitudinal brace down the centre, between the tops of the legs and across the lateral bracing struts? To kind of hold it all together? Without the top on, it looks a bit naked in the middle, and like all the weight is resting on the two end sections of the frame. I should say that I've never built a table so am probably wrong - but would be interested to hear your thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Hi Mark ,

That is a fine looking piece.

Reminds me a bit of the Dutch style of dining table..... Very chunky.

 

Good work mate...

 

Thanks
