<p>[QUOTE="BenWillcox, post: 123145, member: 1773"]I don't think it's quarter-sawn oak. I have a few pieces of quarter-sawn white oak (and have worked with the wood a bit). The figured waves on the table edges simply aren't right for raw-flakes, at least not in oak. Also, the grain structure seems to be a bit more closed. It would also be a bit odd to see a book-matched, burl-wood top in a base that is quarter-sawn oak. In any event the color match is exceptionally close between the wood of the top and the edges of the table top. Given that most stains (especially in 1920) simply are not, and were not color-fast this tends to make me think that the top and sides are from the same species of wood. </p><p> I am mostly interested in trying to peg a manufacturer because this was undoubtedly produced as part of a dining set, and I wouldn't mind at least finding images of the other pieces, if not actually trying to track-down a few of the pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
