Vernacular Table - Built for Mount Vernon

This simple vernacular or occasional table was built for the newly reconstructed distillery at George Washington's Mount Vernon.   Based on historical evidence, a similar table was located in the distillery assistant's bedchamber.  The table was designed in the style of several existing examples of vernacular tables of Southern origin.  The overall dimensions of the table is approximately 28" wide  x 22" deep x 28" high.  The construction includes pinned mortise and tenon joinery and a lightly distressed oil and wax finish.  The size, style, wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements.

These pieces are examples of the type of work I do. Let me know what I can build for you.
The top of the table is attached directly to the aprons with wooden pins - copying the construction of many of the original tables we studied.
