Marble Coffee Table help

Recommended Posts

Hello ,

I have a few slabs of 1.5" marble about 22" x 22" and wanted to make 2 coffee tables with the marble.

I was going to do a standard mortise tenon legs with aprons and then a miter frame on top with the marble inset into it.

My question , or where I need help is how do I support the marble. Obviously the aprons will be covered by the mitered frame on top , so they cannot take any of the weight. I thought about putting 3 rails across 2 of the aprons to support the marble , but that seems like I am using to much wood. Any suggestions , plans, drawings , links would be appreciated.

Thanks
