<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1647141, member: 6444&quot;]Sorry, but I don&#039;t know which table you&#039;re talking about; between James and me we&#039;ve posted probably ten. Do you mean the first table that I opened the thread with, or the one I just posted - in which case they are both most likely dated earlier than 1840. In any case, that pine bottom, grain side to side, with nails in the back, was used in American furniture from the mid 1700&#039;s up to the late 1800&#039;s. But there were subtle differences as time went on - from the type of nails used, to the sawing pattern on the pine board, to the dovetails used; and these are the details to look for to find to clues to when made.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. I looked up the sideboard you mentioned, and noted that looked to be made in UK, not US, so drawer construction materials and techniques were quite different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
