Xmas table

[RogerM]

That's really nice Pete - working with reclaimed timber is always an adventure! The stretchers look great but are they just there for aesthetic purposes or are they really needed?

Hi, RodgerM

The stretchers do tie all the legs together, so when the wife slams the cleaner in to a leg or we drag it across the floor it shares the loading between all the legs so puting less strain on the joints at the top of the table.

I'd not seen it before either, but thanks for digging it out. Wow, fantastic job and who would have guessed what was hiding under that varnish. Bet you're an expert at getting an edge quickly now :shock:
