Back in the depression, they used what they had and made do. I'm thinking this is the reason for the table. It was a wonderful table and now a wonderful memory. Thank you!
Put your thinking caps on and make something useable from these wooden spools. I remember also, having these in the toy box to stack and roll. Wow! That was lots of decades ago!! LOL! Wonder why I can remember these things and not what the movie was I watched last night!!??
