scrawled the following:

What is the wreck's opinion on how wide a breadboard end can be on a
kitchen
table? I'm looking to add length, but don't want proportions to look
bad.
Overall, the table will be 6'9" by 3'6"


I'd go with 3'6", Joe. gd&wvvf

A good default ratio is the golden mean.

I know about the golden mean. can you elaborate on the calculation you'd
use to get to the width of the breadboard end with this method? I guess I'm
not seeting how you'd apply it.

thanks
