Best Handwork - for reproduction of a John Goddard Tea Table - 2015 Northern Woods Show
This is a reproduction of a mahogany Philadelphia piecrust table that is in a private collection.   The table top tips vertically as well as rotates.   The top support and rotation mechanism is called a "birdcage."   My battens are slightly more elaborate than are the original.   The table top is made from a single piece of mahogany and is 34" in diameter.   In addition the "piecrust" decoration is cut from the solid.   The legs and the pedestal were cut from 4" thick stock.
