<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 276998, member: 5066&quot;]I had always assumed that oak secondary wood on early furniture was NOT American and, generally speaking that is correct. However, as is usual with very old furniture there are ALWAYS exceptions to these rules as new research emerges to challenge the conventional theories.</p><p>It is now known that at least one area in the american colonies did use oak as a secondary wood in furniture building in the years 1700-1740. That area is the Delaware River Valley and includes, Southeastern Pennsylvania, Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD.</p><p>I found this table that is up for sale next week &amp; i think it&#039;s american, C. 1710-1730, built somewhere in the valley, probably Philly area. I want this table &amp; i aim to get it!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]88087[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88096[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
