The table will be 36" x 23" of cherry wood, with a 16" height, no apron.
I saw this leg design online for ~$300 for 2 with a black matte finish. The product is handsome and worth the price but I want to make it of wood. The cleat should be ~1" thick or less to make it inapparent. Plywood is OK as it will not be visible.
How do I fasten a wood cleat to the tabletop and avoid crossgrain issues? I don't want a sliding dovetail. Would figure 8 fasteners work here or should I just use elongated screw holes with washers? Other suggestions? Thanks.
