This dining table presented an interesting challenge.  It needed to be small enough for a
family of five to dine together each night yet be
able to expand to seat diners for twenty. Drawing
on the English tradition of creating separate tables which can be joined together as well as a folding center leaf, the impossible became possible.  Made of red birch the top is decorated with walnut and holly inlays. The center diamond string inlay works with or without the leaf in place.
