This was an existing dining / library table that had great sentimental value to my clients but was no longer big enough to accommodate their growing family of sons and daughters in law and grand children. Their wish was to be able to expand it for family dinners but not modify the existing table. So I designed two leaves and custom hidden hardware to attach them to the ends of the table and stained it to perfectly match the existing color patina and wear, so it appeared as if they were always a part of the table and not an add-on or afterthought.
