BREADBOARD END

Winter

Normal

Summer

The Breadboard End is a long narrow piece of wood attached to the end of a table top perpendicular to the grain. This end helps keep the top flat while providing a finished appearance. The table top may shrink in the winter when the air is dry and expand in the summer when the air is humid.
