There won’t be another like it!
 
The top of the table was originally the backing for a large sign from years ago. It was sawn from a large pine on a traditional sawmill, the repetitive arcs were made by offset teeth on the blade.  The top was originally milled as one piece, from the center of what was most likely a white pine log. Due to its long life outside, and despite white pine’s rot-resistant characteristics, the heartwood had decayed somewhat and so was removed.  The two sides were then rejoined to make the top solid again.
 
The legs and the apron that support the table came to us in the form of a wooden cart that had seen use in the transport of fire suppression equipment that was installed in the construction of Deep Portage Conservation Reserve.  It also had spent many years outside but much of the material was reusable.  The type of wood is unknown but fairly hard.  The name of the fire suppression company still appears in traces of the original paint on the end pieces of the apron.
 
Enjoy the feel of the long-weathered wood grown by trees that reach into the past. Finished in water-based poly.
