This Table has been SOLD This is a classic harvest table in traditional quartersawn white oak. Bob Hoffa used a natural oil finish for authentic appearance. What makes this table memorable is not only the classic design and fine woodworking, but the special vintage wood used to build it.

The McNeal White Oak was 256 yrs. old when it fell in Hillsboro, WV. This tree was alive from 1742 until 1998.

Shown left, a cross section of the trunk is marked every 10 years, clearly showing wood grown during the civil war and other important times in our nation's history. Click on the picture for a close-up of the cross section.

The table top has been constructed as a single unit for added strength, yet still reveals the separate quartersawn oak planks. Close-up, you can see the fine details of the table leg and beaded apron. The legs are removeable for shipping, and easy to reassemble.

Bob made the harvest table drawer with a traditional poplar bottom. The applewood pull is from a 100 yr. old orchard apple found storm felled in a mountain community that no longer exists (Jacox, WV).

Looking at the rings of this tree can reveal a lot about our nation's history. From 1750 to 1790, there are an average of 27 rings per inch. The tree grew only 1 1/2" in 40 years. It only took 23 years to add the next 1 1/2", or 14 rings per inch. Among other things, this shows when land clearing took place. Cutting trees allowed more light into the forest, and the remaining trees grew faster.

From 1810 to 1870 there was slow growth, followed by a spurt from 1890 on.
