ConstructionThe elliptical top, with rounded edge, consists of two boards, held together with spline joints, each showing two wood pins, one joint near the center, the other two near the edges. The top?s underside, at its perimeter, bears prominent planing marks. The top is secured to its frame by wood pins, one in each flat-arched rail. The nails are tenoned and twice-wood-pinned to the rectangular blocks atop the ring-turned, tapering, flaring legs, which end in outset shod pad feet with chamfered heels. Examined by P. E. Kane and J. M. Johnson, September 23, 2013; notes compiled by T. B. Lloyd. |
