The side chairs and the lowboy in the background are old. The table top is of one board wainscoting, 32" wide from a 1750 house in Farmington, Ct. This is one of nine wainscot boards that came out of that house which was dismantled to build a Dam after the 1955 flood. I bought them in 1987 from Kent Gilyard of Litchfield, Ct. who sold old building materials and Antiques , five of which became table tops, three became fireplace mantles and one became a 'tap' room door. This one was the longest - 14' 6'' long with faded green paint.
I'm thinking the tree started growing around the mid to late 1400's, or so !

White pine built the colonies, from the outside - in, clapboards, windows, doors, floors, paneled walls, wainscoting, small cupboards, large cupboards, boxes, blanket chests, drawers, tops, shelves, backs of just about everything, spoons, buckets, etc., even some high chests that were painted had pine sides. Oak was soon abandoned on oak carved 17th century chest lids in favor of yellow pine at first, then white pine was used. It was an almost everything wood, and still is. Millions of board feet mill sawn, hand sawed, hand planed and moulded inside and outside of every house and building, it boggles the mind. Think of it, every village, every town and city, in the whole thirteen colonies. To say it was a building frenzy is an understatement of tremendous proportion! Kudos to our talented and hard working early craftsmen who endured working conditions we would have a very hard time with today, and to the White Pine series of books, a treasure trove!
