Repairing old carved table - Trusty Rusty - 07-31-2015
Normally I hate restoring antique furniture. But one of my customers asked me to repair and build extensions for this carved French Lions head table. They date it around 1880-90 and bought it in France several years ago. The interesting thing about this table is the top is solid and the end aprons pull out with double slides.

The part that got my attention and why I am posting were some of the things I found that just really seemed cool to me.
1st when I started to dis-assemble the table I could see all the original layout lines. Then when I removed the base, in between the aprons were the plane shavings left when they fitted the aprons.

It just seemed cool to me that some guy in France 130 years ago left them there for me to find.
When I took the top apart to repair a cracked glue joint I realized the French beat the Germans at inventing the Domino. (There's was just hand powered)
