I have a wooden piece from an old grist mill. It is 43 inches interior diameter and 15 1/2 inches wide. I believe it went around the two mill stones. I have had it over 30 years, had planned to make it into a table but never got around to it. Now I would like to possibly find a home for it to be displayed or even used. I am asking you to steer me in the right direction on someone to contact. It is in excellent condition. I have no idea what kind of wood it is. The wood has been notched to make the wood bend to make this circular object. Pictures can be provided. Thank you.
