Hi all,
Looking for some design advice.
I'd like to build a desk for the home office. Keeping it nice and simple. Just a rectangular table top approximately 5-6' long by 30" wide. I can get my hands on some 1" thick hardwood timber which would take me a about three boards to achieve the width; which I would join together with tongue and groove and my plan was to breadboard the ends also. The boards will be long enough to span the 5-6 foot. The desk will be approximately 30" high.
My questions are two main ones.
Would one inch thick (planed but before sanding etc) so a little under one inch, be enough for the size of the table?
How would you guys suggest I attach legs and what shape/design?
I could also make steel legs and powder coat the etc.
Like a Krenov style floating rail? Or Nakashima table?
All advice is greatly welcomed! Thanks in advance for any and all!
