Portfolio > Tables and chests > butterfly leaf table 45.jpg

The butterfly leaf is hinged in the middle with hidden Soss hinges so nothing but the beautiful wood (figured black walnut in this case) shows when the leaf is fully deployed. It aligns itself with the two top pieces so all you need do is push the top halves together to lock the leaf in place. When you are ready to put the leaf away, just pull the two top pieces away from the leaf and lift one end of the leaf. It will fold itself and store itself under the table. Slick and very interesting to watch.

We are 26 miles SW of Grants Pass, Oregon, on US-199 (Redwood Highway) that connects US-101 at Crescent City, California, with the I-5 at Grants Pass. Lots to see and do in this beautiful area. We are close to the Oregon beaches, the Oregon Caves NM, rafting on the Rogue River, Crater Lake & the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
