<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 230736, member: 37&quot;]I don&#039;t see any pics that give a true indication of wood but it looks like it could be pine.&nbsp; Pine was often used by country furniture makers and for things such as work tables.&nbsp; Yours could be an unusual example made by a country worker for a specific purpose.&nbsp; It uses turned legs so not just cobbled together but maybe by a small shop and the foot a regional variation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the width of that center board is probably your best indicator of age.&nbsp; If 12&quot;-16&quot; it is probably mid 19th century or so. By 1880, you began to see smaller dimensional lumber used.&nbsp; If wider than 16&quot; it could be earlier.&nbsp; Truly wide board and the trees they came from began to diminish mid 19th century.&nbsp; This is not a hard and fast rule and country carpenters used what was available to them.&nbsp; The loss of an old large tree might provide wide boards for them at any time.&nbsp; I also don&#039;t know how much this applies to England and Europe.&nbsp; My experience is with American furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
