	Construction The oblong single-board top has a slightly rounded edge and outset three-quarter-round corners, and is joined to the rails of the frame below by screw pockets?two each in the long rails, one each in the short rails?and by horizontal chamfered glue blocks (some missing). Under the top are shadows of two transverse braces which formerly ran through each long rail (now patched), and were screwed into the top outside the frame. The legs are attached to the skirts by mortise and tenon joints, each showing two wood pins, and by vertical chamfered glue blocks. The tapered legs end in shod pad feet. Examined by P.E.
