I received two logs from a felled Walnut tree and had them milled.  After air drying in my garage for a few years I set out to build a dining table for 8.  Using Matthew Teague’s plan, I built and upholstered 8 chairs.  I then began the dining table.  The extension table uses wooded sliders and is six feet long.  I made two 18 inch leaves which brings the table to 9 feet when fully assembled which can accommodate 10.  Although I planned the dining set for 8, I currently have the room to extend the table and decided to build an extra leaf should our dining party require the additional seating. I still have enough lumber remaining to construct a matching buffet and hutch.
