Awesome! They did make the enamel ones! The top for this is almost ready, but can't figure out how to attach it

Is this sort of what you are talking about?

Wonder if you sent them an email, if they would take or have a picture of the underside of the table? If not, I was Googling "antique draw leaf tables" when I came upon that picture so there may be more out there! Good luck!!

I also looked at craiglook.com, which gives you a much broader range of search options. Here are a couple more I found:

That is great- I have been trying to find another name for that type of table- this is a major breakthrough! That particular one is sold, but with sutillman's pics and that info- I think we're on our way! Woo hooo! Thanks so much!

You are so very welcome!! I love a challenge and googling........

Post pics of the table that you all are building - I would love to see it!!!

We're using knotty hickory for the main top.This part and the leaves will be trimmed in black walnut. I'm going to fill the knots with epoxy so the top is smooth. The legs are "reverse tapered"- they are made from thick old barn beams, and get fatter at the bottom. Kinda like Arts & Crafts architectural posts

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love wood with character, thus knots and what some would call imperfections. To me, it is so much more beautiful when artesians let the true "life" of the wood shine through. When we were trimming out our log home, we chose the knottiest pine we could find for just that reason!

I know- a lot of the walnut and cherry we get is salvaged from cabinet shops and such. They want everything "uniform". Boring! I met an old man that also uses the knotty & colorful stuff in crafts. He calls it "god's color"

Check this out- all salvaged wood, going to ship next week:
