All,
My wife has requested a large, two pedestal trestle table for our dinning room. She's found the one she likes from a design perspective. It has a beefy, single, square pedestal at each end and has lots of detail in it.
For scale- the table top is 2 inches thick, making the pedestal at least 10 inches at the widest.
I'm puzzling over how to go about cutting this. Anyone have any experience or advise to share?
from research, it seems there are two general options:
- laminate the entire block together and then wrestle the beast on the bandsaw saving offcuts to keep the block so adjacent faces coult be cut
- get 4 boards of sufficient thickness, cut the profile in each of them then miter them together.
Any help, advise, pointers to videos, etc would be appreciated.
