Antique TIGER OAK MASSIVE LIBRARY TABLE! (10 FEET LONG! 114) dining work

  
This is a MASSIVE LIBRARY TABLE! This is a massive library table, measuring 114 inches, or just under 10 feet long (9.5 feet). With 4 large fat solid tiger oak legs, + 4 pedestal extensions, + drawer. This is exceptionally rare, difficult if not impossible to obtain, especially for this price. Tiger oak is lumber produced by a particular milling process called quarter sawing.

The process results in lumber with a distinctive grain that is often used in high-end applications in which the appearance of the wood is an important consideration. Because the grain of quarter-sawn wood is straighter than that of flat-sawn lumber, the quarter-sawn wood is significantly more stable. The straight grain is generally thought to have a superior look to the grain of flat-sawn wood, in which the grain is parallel to the surface of the lumber and tends to accentuate the loops and swirls of the grain. The quarter-saw method also reveals the medullary rays in the wood, distinct stripes that add an attractive character to the wood.

Quarter-sawing produces less lumber from each log than flat-sawing, and it requires more labor because of the necessity of rotating the quarter before each cut. These disadvantages add to the cost of the wood, and the added cost can outweigh the primarily cosmetic benefits for most typical applications. You will need to bring 2-4 strong people to lift this table. Table is located in Moab, Utah. The table is too big to properly photograph.

Condition is articulated in the condition paragraph in the listing below. Please read it if you care about condition. The legs have been detached from the table in order to enable transport, (as the table is too big to fit through doorways).

The legs attach with large L brackets, which are included. I have all the brackets and screws that came with the table. The table top is solid sawn tiger oak, it is not a veneer. Table is complete with: legs, leg elevators, and the drawer. Table is currently disassembled and in storage, leaning on its side.

Legs have been unscrewed from the table. You probably already know if a large library table of this size is what youre looking for.

If you are wanting such a table you likely already know how difficult it can be to find one of this size and detail. Extremely difficult to find large old oak library tables of this size. The table thickness (theres a 12 inch wood framing around the perimeter makes it awkward to use for dining) makes it not particularly suitable as a dining table.

Table is intended as a library or workspace table. Table is in storage and is disassembled.

Legs have been detached to facilitate transport and the table is sitting on its side. This massive table is fully functional. Has generalized wear and chips as reflected in the price. Extremely rare a very difficult to find a table of this size.

It is difficult to get a good picture. If you change your mind when you see it in person, we can cancel the sale. The elevators insert into the base of the legs and require no tools.

The elevators give roughly 4 inches of height. This is the condition paragraph. CONDITION: Some of the fixed trim was lost, and is therefore of course still lost.

They are of course still not attached. I still have these pieces, maybe 8 or 10 small detached pieces of trim. Some of this is visible in the closeup pictures. Table is difficult to photograph due to its size. There is general wear, scuffs, gouging and chipping, which is likely to be expected, some of which is not visible in the pictures due to the size of the table, and some loss and detached trim as already mentioned. Table is rare to find, is fully functional, rugged, and will last for centuries. All four elevators are present. All four fat solid oak legs are present.

Table has some dust, that will wipe off. Some generalized cosmetic wear, scuffs, abrasion, most obvious wear is some loss of the mounted trimming. Generalized wear but fully functional. Main wear is that some of the mounted trimming detail decoration is lost (never included).

Table has wear, scuffs, gouges, trimming loss, etc and should be considered rustic and functional. Table has generalized wear as is to be expected on such a large piece.

Tiger oak is costly to produce and pieces of this size are just rare. Table is only increasing in value, and would likely not be obtainable elsewhere, let alone locally. Antique tiger oak is highly desirable. Table is located in downtown Moab, Utah and is disassembled and ready to be loaded onto a truck.

The legs are currently removed from the table. The table is standing on its side, leaning against the wall, with some protection from plastic sheeting.

A truck can be driven right up. Table is extremely heavy so you will need 2-4 strong people. Only the table is included. Nothing else shown in the pictures is included.

I think its an antiquarian library or parlor or university or institution table, more than a dining room table. It is an antique table, not a pool table.

It can be used in a warehouse setting for large surface area. Therefore table is potentially approaching or surpassing 100 years old. This is a massive table.

Legs are easily removed for transportation. Pedestals add a few inches of lift, and are included. Has one drawer at the head of the table. Will add more information once easier to access. I have a flatbed dolly that might help.

Table requires at least two strong people and a large truck. Due to difficulty in photographing this large piece. However, once possession is taken. > THIS IS NOT RETURNABLE FOR ANY REASON, as I will not have the space. Because of the straight, fine grain of quarter-sawn wood, and because the grain of wood tends to have a more consistent grain than that of flat-sawn wood, it is well-suited to applications such as high-quality wood flooring.

The attractive grain patterns typically present in quarter-sawn wood also make it a good choice for fine furniture and architectural details; it was used often by artisans working in the Mission, Arts and Crafts and Prairie styles.
