[QUOTE="MattQc, post: 2644071, member: 8923"]Hi everybody I've got this late 18th century (supposedly German, Austrian or Swiss) rustic table I'm patiently restoring ans was wandering if it was of common use back then to use difference essence of wood on a same piece (see photo, the center wood section) ? I tend to think that this middle section is a late addition, although the accumulation of dirt equaly distributed and of same color as the rest tend to suggest both section are contemporary, so both would then be original (see detail on the other photo). So the visual result, once cleaned is a dark reddish wooden piece in the center and dark honey tone legs. Normal ? What do you think ? Feel free to give me your impressions. Many thanks, Matt[/QUOTE]
