The first piece of furniture that my husband and I bought after we were married was a beautiful oak dining table we found at a yard sale. It has a leaf that folds up inside the table. This is the table that my children grew up at. It has so many memories. All the homework done at the table all the crafts and all the holiday dinners. Well this is now my cutting table. The leaf is out and my husband got me a piece of plexiglass to put over it to protect it. I bought one of those 36x70 cutting mats and it covers it perfectly. I have wooden bed risers under the feet to raise it to cutting height. My husband wanted to have a custom cutting table with cabinets below made for me, but I said NO. I am really attached to this table.
