Antique Questions Forum / Re: Antique 6 leg Oak Table (1800's approximate)

The screws are inset into round drilled holes about 2 inches deep, the tops of the screws are rusted a bit but they are flat-head screws. It is very uniform and does look like it was made with the assistance of newer woodworking equipment. Also you're probably right about it being maple, it seems too light in both weight and color to be oak. I've also attached some images of the wood-pattern on the bottom and one of the screw-holes. Thank you for your help I don't know much about wood antiques I mostly do antique silver but am helping somebody move some stuff.

The person who owns it told me that when they acquired it they were told it was late 1800's, not sure it is though.
