[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2206499, member: 5066"]Guesses 1st quarter 20th century, based on the leg support hardware/screws. Single board tops are a very nice feature in tables, especially if not warped, split, or cupped and usually command a premium price. Wide wood slabs are still available in most species however, GET OUT YOUR POCKETBOOK! The last one I bought to replace a tabletop was walnut, 27 inches wide, and cost over $600. just for the board, add in another $1000. to have it milled, attached, and finished. The aprons are far to narrow to attach the legs with any kind of strength so braces were absolutely required. My guess is the table was built for a specific need around the house, a utility type situation.[/QUOTE]
