ConstructionThe top is held in place by two battens on the underside near the ends of the table frame. The battens are nailed to the top between the two rails; they pierce the rails and are screwed to the top on the exterior of the rails. Triangular glue blocks, one on each side, reinforce the joint of the battens and the top, and the front and back rails and the top. Examined by P. E. Kane, September 7, 2003. |
