[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 297511, member: 1136"]Okay, last piece I recently purchased (you know, the blanket chest, step back cupboard, rough and tough side table... I cant help myself :rolleyes:) The top has been replaced. Its older tongue and groove but think from around the same period the table was built, maybe a little newer. Personally, Im not the biggest fan of how they finished the top, but since I didnt buy this one as a keeper, ehh, oh well, someone will like it. Its wood pegged together and sturdy. As far as the legs and base go I do not see any nail construction, but its tight. Sometimes youll get a little wiggle with these things, not with this.. Its also really light. My 9 year old helped me lift it on its side and walk it around a corner and through a door really easy. The poor man who helped me get it out a basement carried it standing straight up, up a flight of stairs (I mean it wasnt like it was on a pinky light, and he was a little winded when he got to the top.. :angelic:) Because we have a TON of reproduction farm tables out where we live (like, there are people who have quit their day jobs and opened productive companies in my town to make farm tables..) I want to push this one as being an authentic farm table. What era would yall say this one was constructed? Someone said the base looks like its cherry, but cherry is heavy right? I had a cherry rope bed at one point that was actually pretty heavy for what it was... If additional pictures are needed I can get them good today, its pretty bright and sunny :couchpotato: [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a8/2e/19/a82e19c5df3f6b151e9838a24f799011.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fc/bc/e1/fcbce1e659a99f4486d9ab188360da9d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2f/05/59/2f0559795add5c58093860bad4f5fe59.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/86/74/2c/86742ca28dd1f51fad10bb00c8395e07.jpg[/IMG] The next picture is underneath the table where the top is meeting one of the side boards. Im going to charge my phone up and definitely get better pictures under there today. Right now I just have a few moments to sit at a computer and type this and wanted to get it posted while I had some down time.. Im not sure if these are circular saw marks or pit saw marks.. :wacky: The 2nd picture is from a website that gives examples of different saw marks. Ill put the description of the picture from the website underneath it..
