Hi
I am building my first slab table and am trying to work out the best way to fix my table legs to the slab.
The slab is 2400x900x60 Marri. I am using two 700x600x60 Marri pieces with a Jarrah cross beam that is connected to the legs via mortise and tenon join.
The table is planned to be an outdoor table which is going to be finished with oil (still deciding exactly which one)
I was planning on doing a mortise and tenon join between the legs and the top but not sure if its the best way to go and exactly what size tenon to go for.
Should I make the mortise wider to allow for seasonal movement in the slab? Or is this unnecessary?
Should I glue the tenon and any recommendations on glue?
I am currently only planning on the one cross beam 1/2 up the legs. Is there anything extra I need to do to avoid cupping or warping?
Thanks for the help!
I don't have any pictures on me but will post some.
