TT,
JonBell posted a thread in Joinery which links to the site that this is on. You won't hardly believe the joinery detail you mentioned. Check it out.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like a through tenon. Another thing interesting about the table is the fact that the top is cupped. That would be considered a defect in most pieces, it adds character to that table.

I went to that site and posted my intital reaction to it in the joinery thread. i have it open in a seperate window because the music is WONDERFUL! As some of you regulars know I lived in Japan 3 years and the music that plays on that site brings back great memories from another lifetime in another world. At that age 9, 10, and 11, you really are in another world. While the music that is playing is more modern, and of faster tempo mostly than what I grew up listening to over there, it is close enough to feel close to the same.

You don't have to wonder if I bookmarked the site or not. Thanks for the link!

And the verdict is in.... I went to my appointment with these people and I brought about 20 drawings and photos of different styles/designs of trestle tables. Daren, the second photo you posted, with almost the identical variations you'd suggested, was the one that they really liked. I had sketched it with the modifications, but when they first saw the photo, they made almost the exact comments. I then drew forth the drawing with the variations they had JUST SUGGESTED might be nice, and it was a done deal! Thanks very much for the input. I do appreciate it. Should be done in June sometime. I'll post pics, then.
