Seat 10 + Dim. 96'' x 42 x 30'' ht. Reclaimed from early cabins & various structures. Primitive design, thick top & legs etc. This is Americana at it's best. The aged character is without rivals. The tooled & hand scraped surfaces are rich with patina, pegs etc.

A sought after species that is becoming hard to find. The blighted character reveal the great distress these giant trees were under. They were known as The redwoods of the east. Early settlers & American indians depended on the nuts as well as a wood that did not rot. Can't brag enough. Top separates from heavy base for ease of delivery etc. Exact year of build is unknown.
