Finally getting around to build a trestle dining table for my wife. Have a couple of decisions to make…

1. I have been collecting plans for a bit for this. The main two have one major difference: one has an 8/4 top and the other 4/4. Thoughts on table top thickness?

2. There’s two main wood choices that my wife likes at the local lumber yard. One is African Mahogany* and the other (at twice the price) is Walnut. Lots of experience with the walnut, not so much with the African Mahogany.

* keep forgetting to call them and see what species the African Mahogany is.
