I agree with Bill-If you can remove the pieces and lift out the rest of the table.
Place it face down and use express flowing epoxy and or CA glue to mend the cracks.(from the back)
Then you can rod the back and using stainless steel screws and fill the channels with epoxy.
Then you can flip the table and work on the surface. I might replace it back into the well if it fits.
You may want to see if it will fit back in the well. Keep the crack repair tight.

This is best repaired by someone that can router out the bottom side and inset some support.  I would recommend a fabricator unless you are able to do this yourself.  Small table are not a problem but that much weight will probably snap again when you move it.

Good luck, Bill Selik

It is not attached to the surface. Some pieces have broken off completely on the edge. In other places there are hairline cracks that I can see run straight through and the pieces will fall apart or at least will if nudged. They are in a well. The broken pieces are to the outside and mostly in two opposite corners - one corner is hairlined in different places and in the other the piece fell out b

Do the cracked pieces come out-hard to see the pic-is it in a well.
Are the broken pieces on the outside or random.
Does it have to come off-

Hi gang. Here is an interesting problem. I have a large 6x4 or so travertine table that was dropped by some movers and some areas were cracked all the way through. Repairing it is probably not a big deal-the pieces will probably glue back pretty easily. But the problem is lifting the table out of the table (it is about 300 lbs) without it all falling apart. I am thinking about getting suction cups and lifting it so that the whole thing is balanced over the edge, with a blanket in place to protect the wood, and then gluing and clamping the pieces back. The underside of the tabletop is covered so I can't push it up from below. I tried lifting with my fingers but it's not moving. Wondered if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks.
