Dining Table Variations
I'm only showing 2 that I've done, but it shows most of the variations possible in a full sized dining table.
The first one is all maple, and goes to show how a light blonde wood can take a dye or stain well. Also, the top is one surface consisting of glued up planks but with no seam in the middle; the leaves go on the ends. The added arch in the side aprons and the swoop in the leg give it a French country look. (With straighter lines and tapered legs, it can be a Shaker style table.) The blue in this actually matches a blue thread in a nearby sofa. No kidding.
The second is a traditional style dining table in solid cherry with a clear lacquer finish. The planks in this case run across the width of the table instead of lengthwise, and the leaves go in the middle. This style could also have a squared end if desired.
With other woods, shapes, legs, details, colouring etc., a unique table design can be hatched pretty fast.
Only 2 tables shown, but if you look at the rest of my pieces in this blog, I think you will realize that I can pretty well make anything you dare me to consider. Contact me for recommended sizes or for a quote.
