ConstructionThe top is made of two thin boards of maple of different widths but equal lengths. The rails that form the frame are tenoned into the legs and secured with pegs. The top is pegged to the upper part of both legs and to the framing rails. The original red paint still covers most of the table. No corner blocks were used inside the frame.
