Do you have any more pictures/material list for the farmhouse table?

I don’t have a materials list but legs are from design59furniture. They are the 5 inch chunky legs. The aprons are 1x4’s and I use dominoes to attach them to the legs but I have also used pocket screws in the past and that’s works fine. I make a corner brace behind each leg that is just screwed in regardless of the type of joinery and it makes it so much more rigid.

The table top is held to the apron using “table top fasteners” that slide in some groves cut into the apron. You can see the groove to the right of the leg in the pic above.

The table top itself is just boards glued on edge and clamped. The breadboard ends use a traditional mortise and tenon in order to allow for expansion and contraction.
This is the best pic I have of that being done. I usually start with 8 quarter material for the top and shoot for about 6 quarter finished thickness. When I use pine, I go to a hardwood dealer and buy good clear and dry boards, I would stay away from framing lumber if possible.

By the way if my pics are confusing it’s because they are different tables made from different materials and some were in my old garage and some are at my new house.
