Gents,
Am putting together a very simple desk measuring 2' x 4' x 1.5'' from joined oak boards with some simple hairpin legs.
Am being quoted around £140 for the table top from four oak boards.
Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on..
1) whether I could, or even should, do this from veneered oak at a substantially cheaper price.
2) The legs I want are steel and I hear this does not react well with oak. Although I plan to use brass screws, part of the steel leg will still be in contact with the underside of the table.
3) Anyone here know of any good suppliers of hair pin legs?
Thanks in advance!
