    My dad and grandfather were fishing up around Bridgeton, Maine, in the early 40's, when they found the remains of an old building beside a stream. The mill wheel was in two pieces. They hauled the pieces back to the car, and put this together in the barn. A few years later, my unappreciative grandmother painted it green. My mom found it in the barn, stripped the paint, and used a floor finish to coat it.( no money in the early 50's)

      Inside diameter is 25 3/4", outside diameter is 28". My father called the table top 'African Mahogany '

      The inside of the wheel appears to have been painted black. The outside I believe was shellacked, and when rescued from my grandmother's barn, stripped and coated with a floor finish in the early 50's. Other than an occasional cleaning with Murphy's, and wax or polish, hasn't been touched since.
