Project: Cherry butterfly leaf dinette table
The dinette table in our RV was a really ugly muddy composite surface, and DW asked that I make a cherry table to go with the rest of the woodwork. The original table slid out from the wall a total of 8", and was not really large enough to seat 4. I made a replacement with a 16" butterfly leaf instead of just a pullout, resulting in something that actually works. I had a stainless steel frame welded up to mount to the wall (the original had a square aluminum frame that would not hold the leaf mechanism. The finish is Waterlox. The photos make it look yellower than it looks in real life - it doesn't clash with the existing cherry.
