Episode 1 & 2 regarding milling has really opened my eyes to a superior way to create legs and aprons. However, I am in the process of a project making a coffee table and two (2) end tables that have much larger tops as well as shelves. What is your adviseregarding making tops and shelves for a substantially bigger tables.
Having just bought the plans for this, it would have been useful to find the suggested board size. It does not. It does does suggest that the tables uses 3BF and that a 40-50% overage may be required. So 5B-6F at most. The board actually used looks to be 12/4 around 8-10 inches wide and at least 6 feet long! That would be about 12BF or four times the required BF. That's steep. What would the minimum required be. Can it be done with 6 BF? What size recommended minimum board?
