Antique Drop-Leaf Gate-Leg Table

[debodun]

The more I look at the photos, the more I get a feeling that the legs and the top were not originally together. It looks like someone cobbled together an antique-looking top and attached it to a more modern bottom since they look like two different woods and styles to me (a darker, rough-looking top with those lighter-colored, lathed legs). Could that be possible?

Could be Cogar !! But wouldn`t you think those same people would have taken the easy way and made the repair on the underside ??

But, but, but, ……. Mart, …….. when your mugs of beer and your potato chips start falling thru the "crack" in your table top, ….. you just hafta gotta make an "emergency" repair.

Debodun, after viewing the “big” picture of the table top in Reply #9, ...... I'm inclined to think you might be correct.

Thats the point of taking the easy repair route !!  If my beer went ,, I would be right behind it !!
