preventing a 2m x 0.95m wooden table from warping
I am planning to make a dining table, dimensions 2000mm x 960mm x 40mm, in
either beech or oak.
The company selling me the timber suggests this would need 9 legs, which
is ridiculous. (I don't think I've ever seen a table with 9 legs before.)
It's a crucial part of the plan that the table have only 4 legs. But I like
this company's tabletops.
What are my options? Bolt two lengths of steel tube to the underside? Or
would I need a rectangle? Would it be possible to use timber? I realise it
would have to be bulkier. What would people recommend?
Thanks in advance!
