ok, ok, rob, simmer down, here's the design.... lol
it's a dropleaf table, 46" wide, and with the leaves up, 47" across. i plan on using the 16" wide boards for the leaves, and trim down the 13" wide boards a touch to use 2 boards for the center. the center is 18". i forgot to mention, that all 4 walnut boards are bookmatched as well as big.
i realize that there are some parts and details missing, such as the leaf supports, but i'm still working on those. there will be a bit of a greene & greene to this table, and i still have not made up my mind as to whether or not to use blacker indents in the legs.
now for the pics....

i knew there was something missing, the stretchers....
they will be on the finished table. in the previous pics, i posted the ones of the one with the top stretched out another 4 inches, but i didn't notice the stretchers were missing....

Looks good Dan. What are you going to do with the bottom of the legs? I am thinking some sort of simple design?
If you don't take pride in your work, life get's pretty boring.
Rule of thumb is if you don’t know what tool to buy next, then you probably don’t need it yet.

i'm thinking blacker indents. i can adjust the short stretcher accordingly. that means i'd have to build another jig...
