Schultz Breakfast Table

Matthew, very impressive! I’ve explored a lot of ways to put feet onto a table, but this idea never has come to me, thanks for sharing, I might have to borrow it on the next heart pine table I put together.

This is very nice and I appreciate seeing construction pictures. I’m curious how you attached the top. I would think that you need to make some provision for expansion and contraction and I can’t quite figure out how you would do that with this design.

Where does your title term “Schwartz” come into play ? Any close-ups of the “accentuated ” top boards ?
The design is very nice and the finish looks good as well : )

Borrow away James.

Rich- To answer your question… I introduced ( recessed from typical viewing angle ) an intermediate 3/4” plywood plate that separates the shifting plank top from the base. The screws with washers that hold down the planks to the sub-top allow for lateral movement without lift. You can barely see the plate line when viewing from the side.

Dusty- It’s a way to personalize the experience for my customer. I designed this table just for them and thus the name “Schultz breakfast table”. When I want to accentuate planking I apply a very small approx. 1/32” chamfer to both edges. I do this before glue-up. With a round top I cut the overall shape after glue-up and then hand cut the plank breaks on the ends.
Thanks for the feedback.

I didn’t know if your present title ”Schwartz Breakfast Table” , was a typo or the original designers name.
Now I know it was supposed to be the “Schultz breakfast table” : )
Awesome table no matter whose namesake it is !
