Shenandoah Second Wind . . .
Harvest Table
The essential components of the table top are two nineteen inch wide heart pine boards which were once part of a dividing wall in a circa 1830’s log cabin, which once stood near Columbia Furnace, VA. Indeed, the cabin itself was housing for workers at the furnace. Traces of the hand-planed beadwork are still visible. The base is made of heart pine from logs in a cabin which once stood near Elkton, VA.
Harvest tables were intentionally large (this one measures 84” by 42”) to accommodate the many workers involved with Fall harvest who came in for BIG meals. Cutlery would have been stored in the cedar lined pull through drawer – it can also be used to store place mats. Handles on the draw were recovered from a discarded chest of drawers.
Finished with Minwax Early American stain, with three coats of polyurethane and a coat of tinted beeswax. $800
