<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4350489, member: 6444"]Well, let's put it this way, it wasn't built by a professional furniture maker. Whether it was put together from lumber 100 years ago, or 10 years ago, is hard to say. Look at the ends - one is breadboard, the other is not - never would be done by a furniture maker. Exposing the thin center boards on one end is also not acceptable work. The legs and rails, and the table edges, look to be all the same moulding - again not something typically done by a furniture maker, but commonly done by someone finding a bunch of old wood and putting a table together. Plus there is a plug in the edge of one of the center pieces that would only occur by someone re-using old wood. And the last pic shows worm holes that have been planed through - a sure sign of re-used wood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Carpenter made I agree with, just can't say when for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
