And that piece of Oak (in the video) was a loose leaf off an Art Deco dining table (there were two loose and two fixed) . Gifted to me to cut up and put the Wood to good use.

The table was 3" lower than normal and the owner had tried to sell it, with no luck selling she gave it to me. I found the frame of the table was mahogany with thick cut veneers covering the long timbers.

I went through every leaf and found a very wide straight, quarter sawn piece that took the table back over 200 years. With it being Art Deco design that added another 110 years or so. And I followed the curves of the annual rings to plot the pith..

Planted around 1660.

Thank you for your support
