Yes, those dining tables that the next generation cannot use. A very sturdy mahogany table made its way with our family from Jamaica to Canada. My sister still uses it as a treasure. The top sits on a sturdy single pedestal with three strong feet at the base. Made out of mahogany. When my father visited Astley House, home of the Duke of Wellington in London, what impressed him the most was the width of the boards used in the dining table. He too thought of the giant tree it came from, mahogany felled in the West Indies to enrich a British duke. Are there any such trees left, anywhere?
I hope we find a good home for "Gummy's" table!
