a table does not imply to me that the table is made of wood. For
that, it makes more sense to say that the tables matter is a
tree's matter, or to say that it is made FROM wood. You removed

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

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.
