Is it bad juju to repurpose an old table?

The price of wood these days is ridiculous, especially if you want nice wood, real wood, not plywood like oak or hardwood.
I see people selling solid oak tables for $20 or sometimes giving them away.
Cut them up and re-purpose, but will the gods of wood and tables and old craftsman ghosts haunt me forever after?
Kind of feels shameful to take a piece of finished wood and cut it up. lol.
