I have a table top Im torn on whether to add an apron to. Its 30" x 60". Its about 1.2" thick toasted soft maple. Theoretically the 'toasting' (marketed Cambia maple at my lumber yard) should make the maple harder, stronger, lighter (weight), and dimensionally more stable. Leg-wise Im going with hairpin legs.

I could achieve a really clean look without an apron, but my conscience is suggesting I apron the table just in case. The next issue becomes how to attach hair-pin legs to an apron, which may itself need a crossmember to screw the flanges of the legs onto.

Any thoughts on this?
