The "design requirements" are these: - Family of four - Pretty small dining area w/ attached kitchen. - Round table w/ pedestal - the more "petite" (read "thin"), the better. - Walnut
Easy yea? - Buy a walnut pedestal (only vendor I could find was Adams). - Build a walnut blank, cut a circle and attach.
Here's where I get scared... Having a 44" table top w/ no expansion (narrow pedestal) worries me a bit. Was thinking of splitting the table, w/ a narrow pedestal on each side (Adams small traditional pedestal in walnut w/ 3 legs) butted (or nearly) together (with a leg out where they meet) - and a 18" or so leaf.
Expansion table idea scares me - but plenty of articles are available. Asthetics of thin pedestals with the table "closed" scares me. Leaf on a round table scares me.
Book recommendations, tips, advice, pictures of such tables, criticism, etc - is all welcome...
Thanks -
