We all know that I build pieces in my shop. Well a dear friend of mine asked me to do something different. He wanted me to demo a wall and build him a base for a large fish tank with a rounded end. Since I like a good challenge I decided to take it on. It’s not completely finished yet but I decided to post some progress pics before I forget

Looking for some help from someone who knows some Gilchrist/ Trenton history. About a year ago my wife and I bought some old reclaimed wood that we were told came from an old farmhouse around Trenton.
Well today while using some of the wood I found this writing on the back of one of the boards.
I know it’s hard to make out but best I can tell it reads B X(?) Williams or Williamson Trenton Fla
Since we are using this for some furniture in our home we would like to know the back story if there is one
The last pic is a the table that was made using this lumber. I’m in the process of building some benches and chairs for it and that when I discovered this writing

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you!

Here is the project I posted on last weekend. Customer order Chess Board. Glue up and final assembly complete. Bet you’ve never seen one like this before. Still have to apply the finish.
