		Farmhouse Table
		Looking for all the world as if it's been there for a hundred years or more this farmhouse table is actually made from bits of farm ! The oak boards for the top came from an old outbuilding and were due to be burned whilst the legs and stretchers are made from parts of five bar gates.
		This close in view shows how the old mortices on the gate sections have been filled in, and the difference in surface colour between the older oxidised surface and the fresher colour of newly worked, though still old timber.
