Trestle base for a large Cypress Slab

| Posted in General Discussion on
Hi All,
I am forunate to have bought a 3″ thick x 44″ wide x approx 12′ long previously submerged (100 years+) cypress slab. I am wanting to build a proportional trestle base for it and would like to see examples of trestle bases. Does anyone know where I might look to find appropriate trestle base pictures to craft a base.
Best to all,
Don

It Is A Shame
Hi Don,
A person from the past here on Knots going by the name of Lataxe build a table with a "Hay rake" base that was nice. You might have found that useful though not exactly what you asked for.

It is a shame because the photos are all removed or lost.
In any case you might look up hay rake tables.
Personally I am not so impressed with the full on trestle base just from an imagined and considered stand point. I have not much experience there.
Here is a book that you might like.
