Why would you want to do that to a gorgeous Oak table...

Try contacting a second hand furniture store in your area that refurbishes stuff... maybe they will either do it, or will have a suitable table and be prepared to do a swap with you.

It will sit in storage forever if not.

I thought there might be someone here who does it as a hobby.

Flogging these unless I can find a use for them. Oak as well.

Yeah, see if you can find a decent second hand furniture store and discuss with them... they will at least do a good job of modifying the table for you...

I wouldn't trust anyone who do it as a hobby to touch that table.... you would want it done properly..
 
I have done a faire amount of woodwork, and what you require is not really feasible.

I would say its easily done, but I personally wouldn't do it to someone elses furniture... because there is a chance it would not come out perfect and that could be problematic.

Its one of the reasons I'm suggesting the second hand furniture shop idea, they may have something that they would do a straight swap with, then there is no modification needed..

@johnjm where abouts are you based?

Erm, I beg to differ, totally feasible.
Find a decent Furniture restorer in your area - its a job I could easily have done but alas all my tools donated to affirmative shopping plus I'm lazy these days.

In Pretoria, anywhere in gauteng is cool.
 
I would suggest getting hold of Boer Schoeman (owner of Armentun Carpentry Services) in Lyttelton. He really knows his way around making furniture.
Look on facebook for Boer Scoeman and Armentum Carpentry, or call 012 666 8555

Just an update. Went with Armentun, reasonable price. They should pick up in the next few days.
