I've got an old walnut table made with pegs and the wood was pit sawn. I've been custodian of it for over 4 decades. It's a small table that now sits in the living room with a lamp and various knick knacks on it. It has been a kitchen table, a breakfast table and general utility table before being granted living room status. I've cleaned fish on it (newspaper on top), gutted small game, and reloaded shells on it. There are a few shot wedged between the three boards the top is made out of. If you can run a MEC progressive without screwing up a pellet drop on occasion, you are a better man than I, Kemo Sabe. I take comfort in knowing about the shot being still there. Gil
