Help finding plans for library/study table

[RonMiller]

I need to find a plans and/or drawings of a library/study table for 6 - 8 people. I've been asked to build one of these for the Air Force Academy with a certain Stalag emblem in the middle of the table. Since this is used in one of the study hall areas they'll use computers, etc. on it - so it needs to be a bit larger than a normal kitchen table. Perhaps 48 x 84 to 96. I just want a relatively simple design (not a Stickley library table all ornamented up) so the inlaid emblem will be the focus.

So after looking for a while (looked on line and at our normally very helpful local library without success), does anyone have any ideas of where else I can look. I suppose I can just do it myself, but always like to learn from others.

Hi Ron

I assume you have tried Google images, but another good resource is Fine Woodworking who if you subscribe to E membership, allow you acces to their galleries.

Ron:
If you haven't already try the Woodweb project gallery. http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/galleries/project.cgi. There are lots of arts and crafts, craftsman/mission style inspired designs.
Also search Amazon. Some of the books let you "Look Inside" and you can sometimes search for different styles. It's a little hit and miss but you can get lucky.
Also, try Google Books (books.google.com). You probably need to start with a book title to narrow the search parameters but it may also give you some ideas/inspiration.
Good luck.
I'd as I am sure other would be interested in what you finally design/build for this so if you can post your final build or even progress that would be cool.
