The new kitchen table will be a modular trestle with with two end pieces/legs and a wedged stretcher between them. I haven't decided on a slab yet but I expect it will be "blind pegged" like my workbenches so the table can be expanded by changing the stretcher and the slab.
Here is the first rough cut of the feet. BTW, the base wood is Alder. I'm still doing the "yes but" about the slab.

The table has been in the "yes dear I'll start it in a week or so" stage for several years because it needed to do a couple of impossible things. I'm not sure I have the answer but the only way to find out is to build.
Be safe out there, hear.
