Update:

As of now I have just been doing size drawings and adding onto my thesis since my hand has been useless. I have made a couple of models in which I do not have pictures of just to make sure my table works. I have the angle of the sliders, and how exactly they work. and the length they need to be.

I will be using two different woods: wenge (pronounced wen-gay aka you were right Shaun) and Aspen. Wenge is a tropical wood, very dense and dark in color. Aspen is an almost white wood, with very little grain. I chose these two because, not only the contrasting colors, because my idea behind my project is not only merging two different types of furniture, it is also merging concepts of furniture, such as affordable modern/minimalist furniture that's usually not well built (Ikea furniture) with versatile small space furniture that serves many functions. (More in the thesis on this)

I have also made a small wood model of the table top out of Walnut and aspen, just to see how I would the contrasting woods. The reason I used walnut was because of the sheer expense of Wenge, plus the hour drive to get it. I will be using wenge in my final.
