I am building a bench from a walnut slab that is 40" long and approx. 18 inches wide with a live edge. My problem is how wide to make the legs(or base) I was thinking making the feet 14 inches wide but wonder if that is wide enough. I don't want it to fall over but also don't think its a good idea to have the feet protruding past the edge of the bench.
The base will be welded using heavy wall 1 1/2" sq. tubing and will be in the shape of an i-beam (sitting on its side) so it will be plenty strong.
Any suggestions.
Thanks
Fred.
