What do you think of this table design ?
I'm still brainstorming this table. I decided to try something different. A trestle base with curved legs (constructed of blocks). The legs are then angled 25 degrees inward.
The table measures 64" x 39"
I have not yet decided the spacing between the pair of legs as the trestle stetcher is just temporarily clamped.
Right now I can fit four 19" wide chairs on each side. In a pinch, the table could seat an additional person on each end though their legs are slightly obstructed (but it's not terrible). The end chairs can't be pushed in.
I've thought about just abandoning and going back to a traditional straight leg-and-apron table. Probably sits 6 easier. But seating 6 will be a very very rare event if ever.
With the trestle stretcher clamped, there is some racking. I hope it goes away when a beefier stretcher that is glued on.
Thoughts? Dumb? What I'm trying to determine is if I just designed the worst of all worlds....in order to be different
This is a dining table for my own use.
