Hi Pete, was wondering did you use some wood filler on the table top? I really enjoy your projects.

In reply to Adam. You could definitely expand the bread boards on the end to allow for more seating Adam. I would just be careful of letting them overhang too far without support. If you did expand them I would also add some sturdy supports underneath of them. Cheers!

In reply to Todd. This design can be prone to cracking. It hasn't been an issue for me because in an area with low humidity. You can use biscuit joints, dowels, or tongue and groove joints to allow for expansion of the wood if you are worried about cracking.

I’m wondering if anyone has extended the bread boards on the end enough to make room for seating on the end? It doesn’t look like you could comfortably sit at the end… chair would interfere with the bottom brace. Maybe it’s only intended for side seating? Maybe I’m missing something. Thanks for advice.

I am really interested in building this table. I just have one question… How do you prevent cracking on the inside of the table? I have seen tables like this crack and I would like to prevent that. Thanks!

In reply to George. You can use WoodPrix, it has the best handbooks and ready instructions. You can learn much from them and make it yourself.
