<p>[QUOTE="Vernon Ward, post: 236656, member: 4664"]The boards are quite thin indicating they were originally power planed which would put the date somewhere between 1890 and 1920 (if the nails are actually square headed. It may be solid, but it was definitely made by a novice craftsman. The top has a lot of character, but I would avoid boiled linseed oil as it gets gummy and will eventually alligator. Howards products are excellent for wood finishes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
