I&#8217;ve been making extension tables for over 30 years but this one was far longer than any I&#8217;d ever made. With a table of this length my concern was that the table would sag in the center when fully extended. Normally an extension table splits in half to accept leaves in the center. For this extension table I made the main table in 3 pieces so that it could accept leaves on either side of a center table section with legs. This center section allows the table to be extended with four 22&#8243; wide leaves to its full length of 15&#8242; 2&#8243; and still be rock solid.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_131\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_140240.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-131\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-131  \" alt=\"solid cherry extra long extension table\" src=\"http:\/\/bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_140240-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_140240-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_140240-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solid cherry extension table with all leaves in place is 15&#8242; 2&#8243; long x 48&#8243; wide and will seat 18 people comfortably.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The curved, beaded aprons, gently tapered legs and thumbnail edge on the table top make this more than just a really long table. \u00a0It is graceful and beautiful no matter what its length. \u00a0Built from solid cherry with mortise and tenon construction and steel table slides this table will provide a gather place for many generations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_133\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_161421.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-133\" alt=\"solid cherry extension table\" src=\"http:\/\/bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_161421-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_161421-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_161421-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bissellwoodworking.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130124_161421-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solid cherry long extension table with no leaves in place is 7&#8242; 10&#8243; long x 4&#8242; wide.
