Doing some late night work on the table for the dinette. I added to the width of the Brazilian Pine panel, using 2-2 1/2" pieces of Pine.
The extensions are glued and screwed together with 3" lag bolts.
It helps to have a lot of clamps ;):

Five lag bolts per side means that I won't have to worry about the extensions coming off the table when I turn over on the table/bed, at night.

The head of the lag bolt in the counterbore of the extension:

I may burn some midnight oil and see if I can get the construction on the table done, tonight. That will allow me to get after the sanding and finishing tomorrow. I'll edit this post with some more pics if progress is made.
