The dining table is project 12 from our furniture making course at Lethenty Mill Furniture; it is aimed at those with some experience of furniture making.
The table pictured is made of home grown beech with a fairly featureless top. I have used the same design in elm where the top has been “wany” (natural) edged, giving a more dramatic result.
At 1850mm x 940mm, this table will seat six people comfortably. The overhanging ‘D’ end allows for the arms of a carver chair to be pushed in underneath the table when not in use.

A very nice design for a dinning table Pushing the chairs inside is the best feature of the table.

Very attractive design. I like the legs, the foot and the strechers design, simple and practical and most importantly very strong.
Thanks for sharing.

That is a class piece of work. I like strongly figured timber, but a piece doesn’t have to have this to be beautiful. If I buy a bigger house at some point I’d like a table like this in it.

Lethentymill: This is a solid design in strength, I especially like how you have many curved shapley surfaces to counter the straight edges, it keeps the eyes flowing over the whole piece.
