CHESTNUT TAVERN TABLES
This wormy chestnut table is based on a table featured in Wallace Nutting's "Furniture of the Pilgrim Century". Tables of this size
were used in taverns to serve food. Their small size made it easy to be moved around. While not an exact historical reproduction,
it captures the flavour of the original table. The chestnut used to construct this table was recovered from three buildings that
stood in Raleigh County, West Virginia. The wood is about a hundred years old.
