This is the story of a Table. What you are seeing to your right is a picture of this table at the start of the restoration project. But before you start the viewing process a little story about this table.
This table came from the Home of L.L. and Lizzie Hamlin of Taylor, Arkansas. For many years it was in place there and used by the family. Many lovely, beautiful and peaceful family meals graced this table, served by loving hands and eaten by the happy members of the family.
With the passing of L.L. and Lizzie the table went into storage with many plans for use and utilization. These plans were not to be.
The table lay in storage for many years. Possibly as many as fifty or more. The storage was very hard on the table as you can see from the picture.
But in 2003 Gayle and Owen King came down and took the table to its new home in Mississippi. They then begain the long, hard and delicate restoration process.
As you will see from the pictures, it was a very sucessful process. The table is now beautiful once again. L.L. and Lizzie along with their family members are very proud of it.
The table is now in its new home in the Alabama room in the King's lovely home.
