Table legs

[GrahamIreland]

One more question from me today.

I have some nice boards for a table top. Just wondering is it ever ok to double up on the stock to create thickness for table legs..

i.e. Laminate two boards to create a leg,

Thank you

Yes, my table legs are 3 pieces glued together.

I have made an oak table using newel posts. they are just long enough to make two legs from a long one, and they are laminated and veneered.

The legs for this White Oak table are laminated
So is the top

Sorry to go off topic, but what finish is that Cordy? It looks immaculate

I used Flag polyurethane - oil based - from Toolstation; diluted 50/50 with thinners, wiped on with a cloth

For current build Coffee table I will be looking for a better quality oil/based Polyurethane to use the 50/50 wipe-on method again

The table build has some photos HERE

I took advice from 'Inspector' and found these Oak pieces which I laminated the legs from
