    Hi there! Recently came across this piece. I know it is oak, that is about it. The carvings are exceptional in my humble opinion. The maker’s mark is basically illegible, there is a star to the far right of the oval. Pics are in the media section, trouble loading it here.

    Yes, thank you. I decided to post them in the gallery, dated today under my name. Best I can do at the moment.

    That picture of what's stamped on the wood is impossible to read - it's upside down.

    Tweaked it a bit, but maybe @Aquitaine can do a better job:

    I tried my hand at tweeking and I think it might be a plywood marking. I think it says Exposure 1 Sheathing Span etc.

    Where was this marking? Was it on a slab of board under the seating perhaps?

    That's a daybed? looks more like a bench or couch to me.

    LOL, Yeah, I hear you but, if it has that plywood marking on it, it ain't antique!

    It's possible Jamo has a piece that needed some support somewhere along the line. It's hard to tell what the actual piece is like exactly.

    (my repairs are mostly to my barn and chicken house, things like that....definately not antique, won't last long enough for that:rolleyes:)
