I know no one here is very opinionated :wink_smil but thought I'd ask anyway...
I am trying to finish up a tiletop kitchen trestle table. LOML put 3 table pictures in front of me and said build me that! (like thats never happened to anyone else :no So it has evolved slowly.
Anyway I have dry fitted the trestle legs together and I am generally pleased with it, but i thought the base on the floor seemed a little heavy looking and wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to lighten the look, maybe a little more graceful. (It is supporting a heavy tile top, so I still need substance to it). Anyway can't promise I'll take your advice, but I'd love to hear it anyway!
Here is my original cardboard mockup to give a better sense of the look...
the wood is brazilian lyptus and I hope to have it finished soon. Of course pictures will follow.
Thanks
Dan
