Yeah, it looks different but, i don't think that is definitive. Nutting pic is 1920 when cameras were rather primitive, no dimensions were given either. Take the pics i posted here that Skinner sent, they look MUCH different on my computer than they do on forum. Much sharper, a lot more detail, color is totally different,
bla bla bla.
Bottom line is, the apron is an exact match, ditto the legs and, when i enlarged the nutting pic the wooden pins on the apron are in the exact same location as skinner table, also the description in nutting says oak with pine top, exactly like skinners. It has already been suggested by others that the skinner table was made in same shop as nutting table and there are 2 tables. I have rejected that argument because, the idea that there are 2 tables built in 1660 by the same shop that survived and are as close as these doesn't make sense to me, the wood pins in the exact same location confirmed for me that these 2 pics are of the same table. Naturally, i could be wrong but i think it is the same table.
BTW, the person arguing for 2 tables was concerned about the feet, they argued that in nutting pic, feet are much smaller which is true however, when you blow up the nutting pic there is a white cloth background table is sitting on and i conclude that it's the ruffles in the cloth that make the feet appear smaller.
In any event, it's all academic at this point, i got about as much chance winning this table as i do winning the lottery tonight!
