nothing yet.
All I have found so far is novocraft vaneer and the chair mentioned above in this thread.
It is a really nice table with a built in leaf, amazing solid wood underframe (not legs) and a decent surface. Very tempting, and quite reasonable. Finding the label was a fun challenge.

searched out.
novocraft must be really obscure.
I am going to go look at the table again tomorrow. Maybe I'll take some supporting pics. I sure would like to know more about it before I lay down and green.
