I have been asked to work on a kitchen table project that this person has designed. I have some concerns about the stability of the table and am asking for anyone who may have some knowledge on these things.
In the attached photo, he shows just three legs to a round column that goes up to a 50" round top. One of my concerns is having just three legs, the other is that he wants the column to be just 2" in diameter.
I was thinking of using a bent lamination for each leg that would then join at the column. With just three legs - each projecting 18", will this be stable? With the column being just 2" in diameter, will it provide enough support for the table top?
I would hate to get through the project and find out it will be a failure, but I also cannot calculate if it is feasible. I have searched google for images of other tables like this, but haven't found any. I would think that if this was feasible, someone would have done it.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Bryan
