Who decides that a large exotic-wood extension dining table with a folding butterfly leaf is the perfect FIRST dining table project to take on??? Me! I do!
This was my biggest project at that time as well as my very first dining table. It features so many “firsts” for me. Check out the Facebook post for tons of photos of this build. I loved [almost] every bit of it.
The build features: a custom butterfly leaf using some concealed hinges and custom parts; hand carved paw feet; tusked mortise and tenon joints; and more.
Check out the matching chairs too.
