In Response To: Re: Making Table Leaves (Michael Richwine)

The table is mahogany veneer over gum wood (I think), made in 1915. The frame and legs are mahogany. The top is thick enough to handle 3/4" plywood plus 2 veneer thicknesses. I plan to use poplar for the edges. The only minor visual difference I can imagine will be the absence of a cross-banding veneer layer on the ends of the leaves.

This table is interesting in that it's 24x42 when closed. The top unfolds, like a card table, then telescopes open to receive the leaves. When fully open, it's over 100 inches. It can easily seat 10 people.
