Table modification
Just finished a new table that will allow us easier access to the U-bench seats at the dining table. Made of African Padauk and Canarywood.

Not only does that look great but seems to be be functional for adjustable table room.

Wow! I wish I had a fraction of the woodworking skill it takes to make that.

That is a great idea and excellent workmanship. Do you leave the table up when traveling?

Can this table still be used to make that area into a bed? Thanks.

Good question. We don’t ever use it as a bed but if we do, I’ll mount some hangers on each bench and use maybe three 2x4s to span across. Then I’ll lay the table onto the 2x4s to carry the load. Should be no problem.

Thank you. I just finished so haven’t traveled yet with the new table but it shouldn’t make any difference, up or down.

That looks great. Being made of hardwood how heavy is it. I had thought to do the same thing years ago but ended up being okay with the first one I made with a laminate top. Sometime though......

Thank you. It’s a little heavier than the OEM table but not much. The wood is about 5/8” to 11/16” thick so not overly heavy. I do have some support pieces that slide out to bolster the table leaves when extended.
