Irish Table

Back again on Nantucket, Norm visits an antique shop that specializes in Irish country furniture. There, he spies what he calls “the perfect occasional table,” an antique Celtic pine table with a thirty-six-inch round atop four graceful, tapered legs. Back in the New Yankee Workshop, Norm fashions his own version using recycled pine, and in the process demonstrates mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques and shows how to make a tapering jig.
