Just finished my dining table. Solid mahogany. The legs are glued mahogany from 50+ year old pallets from Central America (mostly)—the top & bottom boards, of the pallets, were made from mahogany with oak stringers. There are no metal fasteners – the joinery is mortise & tenon with wedged dowels. The reason the legs and apron are laying in two pieces is because I made them 4” too narrow. Someone said you can tell good work by how well the mistakes are repaired – there are no pefect pieces – if they don't have repairs, they likely should have. I was very happy with the repaired apron width.
