Need a hinge for butterfly leaf: source?
![](https://www.finewoodworking.com/app/themes/finewoodworking/_assets/img/avatar/avatar_50x50.jpg)
Help please. I have a mahogany DR table with a butterfly leaf in it that has two sections held together by two hinges; each has 2 screws.
I’m going to try and go take a picture of the broken hinge but my fingers still hurting from getting “bit” between the wood sections from trying to open it out so I’m alittle askeered of it right now…
Anyhow – can y’all recommend some good online sources for replacement hinge used on butterfly leaf’d furniture? I been looking in my Lee Valley catalog and online and my eyes are glazing over…so thought would pop over here from BT and see if you Knotheads would help me. <g>
Will be back online here later tonite to see your further questions or responses (and hoping there are some!?)
TIA!
