Cruciform Table Supports

Two of the trestle table supports showing the hand-shaped cruciform feet, braces and top rail. Towards the back is the third support, where you can see the slots designed to accomodate the long crocketed braces. Also behind the trestles are the three long oak boards that will be used for the table top. These have already been cut, using hand held tools and largely 'by eye', from one of the massive beams shown in our other photo. Consequently, as with all the components, they are not perfectly straight or true and will differ slightly in cross section. The irregularities are subtle, though, not contrived!
