This is one of the finest benchmade tables of its type. The craftsman who made this table chose the finest of solid maples. The top is composed of the finest solid ripple maple, and contrasts with the striped tiger legs and apron. Note that the edge molding around the top is all pegged, as are the legs. This table is built to last and made in the same way as its 250-year old antecedent with probably far better woods.
