<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adrienne bryan, post: 235449, member: 4631&quot;]Hello everyone my name is Adrienne and I live in a small town in Northern California called Cloverdale. I happenstanced upon a piece of furniture that no matter how I work it or word cannot find an example or anything remotely similar on the internet. Many people have asked to purchase it, yet I couldnt begin to understand the value or how to estimate one. It was found sliding down the side of a hill, on the side of the road in the rain facedown with the table legs under brush and off to the side. The only reason I saw it was because engine difficulty forced me to pull the truck over and I walked along the passenger side in the event a car came by. It was found on Pine Mountain Rd. in Cloverdale lost in the twist and turns of Pine Mountain itself. Formerly known as Oak Mountain and historically known as the wintering grounds for local and travelling native tribes and also the homesite and community of Emily Preston, the famed spiritual healer, and the community of Preston she lived at with her 300+ followers. The legs feel as though they are made of a different type of wood, or at the least most definitely a different tree. The table top itself is 100-125+lbs and 5 1/2 inches thick. It is serpentine in shape measuring approximately 48&quot; at its longest point and 28&quot; at its widest and when on the legs stands 26&quot; inches tall, a bit high for a coffee table but too narrow for a dining table. It appears handcarved with symbols. The top is an early swastika type design that research taught me was a common symbol in many societies and the sides are alternating between double spirals and squares made up of 4 triangles. Looks wood burned in? I think the burn marks I see are caused by the chain saw, so someone told me, and you can see that it is two different colors on top because i washed half with mild soapy water and discovered a beeswax like coating. During the process of the table drying out it revealed a crack in the thinnest part and i included a photo of that as well, any input on whether i should repair or just leave it be? Any help at all would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.</p><p>Adrienne</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71278[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71279[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71280[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71281[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71282[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]71283[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
