ConstructionThe table does not have a drawer. The frame is made of rails tenoned into the top of the legs and secured in place with pegs. A mahogany band, with matchstick carving in the front, is applied to the apron. The top is held in place by two screws driven through the long frame rails. The stationary leaf-support rails are nailed adjacent to the long frame rails; the former are made of poplar and the latter of maple. The flying-leaf-support rails are joined to the stationary rails by square knuckle joints, on their lower inner edges are found hollowed-out handholds. Small pine blocks line the interior perimeter of the frame where it meets the top.
