Hey All -
This table was built for my mom by her hairdresser, who was a woodworking hobbyist, probably back in 1961-62, so the wood is at least that old. It's 48" round, and 2" thick. It was made from three pieces which were just glued together with no splines or other joinery. The top was finished in some kind of clear plastic (did they have urethane or epoxy back then?), and one of the pieces recently came unglued (you can make that out in the picture of the top).
I'm moving soon, and don't really have a spot for this table. Plus, it needs to be re-glued and refinished. I was thinking of using it for body and neck blanks, especially if this is 60 year old mahogany or something else worthy of guitars. The bottom pic is from underneath and shows the wood unfinished. Thanks for your wisdom on this! Right now, I'm working with some poplar I got from a neighbor, and this looks so much better, I'm eager to try some builds with it.
