The is a lot of flexibility in the design of a trestle table. Mine is
40" X 60". there is a 12" inset to the legs at each end. Also, a leaf
can be added near each end so the inset to the legs would be 24". We
have used the table for 25 years and still enjoy it.

That is a great looking table. And, I have always liked the LOOK of
trestle tables, in general. My problem is that, with my long legs and
big
feet, and sitting at the end, I can't pull all the way up to the table.
That being said, it seems from the photos that you have a bit more
overhang
at the ends than I have seen before. Did you do that on purpose? I also
wonder how much of an overhang might work yet still be stable. I suppose
at some point the trestle becomes a pedastal and loses the trestle
concept.
Another idea is to make the feet of the trestle smaller and make the
cutout
between the feet higher. But their proportions look good the way you did
them. Any suggestions? Maybe I'll just have to go w/ 4 legs. Thanks.
