17th Century Carpentry

While touring an ancient cathedral in Germany, I came across this table.
Look at this table!

The table top is end grain butcher block framed by a beautifully mitered board that finishes it off perfectly.
This was done before electricity was known, and way before power tools! And it is perfect.
When we are finished cruising and become dirt dwellers, I want to build beautiful wooden creations like this. Hopefully they will stand the test of time like this table certainly has.
