    Ahti, basically, those things are table top fasteners. Amazon sells metal ones & offers this info:
    "Table Top Fasteners provide a sturdy connection between the tabletop and apron, while still allowing the top to expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes. This prevents cracks from forming over time."
    Your hand-made wooden ones are much more in keeping with the integrity of the design.
