Hello all, I am about to start building a farm style table for some friends. Using white oak, top will be about 7'L x 42"W x 1-5/8" Thick. They would like breadboard ends, and they would prefer the breadboards to be 8-9" wide. Looking forward to the build, but I have always seen breadboards being about 3-4" wide.
Are there any practical/structural restrictions on breadboard widths, or any precautions I will need to deal with on this?
Also, I am used to the rule of thumb of the tenons' length being 2/3 the width of the breadboard. In this case what would you recommend?
Thanks much!
