 that, it makes more sense to say that the tables matter is a

 the tree was one of the steps in making the table >>

Yes!!!

I would definitely use a hammer to make the table.  raS vIchenmoHmeH mupwI'

I do see what you are driving at.  You think that because the wood is taken
from (physically moving the wood from one location to another) the tree that
{-vo'} is acceptable.  I still cannot feel that this is quite correct.
