Silent Auction Treasures
Rustic Live Edge Coffee Table
Donor/Sponsor: Stuart Sharp
Description:
This one-of-a-kind live edge coffee table was handcrafted from a solid round of hard maple from a tree right here in Port Albert. By the count of its rings, the tree was over 100 years old, making this beautiful piece not only a functional table, but also a small part of Port Albert history.
Measuring approximately 2 feet round by 2 inches thick and mounted on sleek steel legs, this table brings together rustic charm, modern design, and a meaningful local story. The “mother trees” can even be seen in an airplane photo from the 1930s, when the south side of the Nine Mile River, from the bridge to the lake, was pasture.
Fair Market Value: Priceless — a piece of Port Albert history.
