The New Yankee Workshop
Details
An antique cherry nightstand, circa 1840, found in a friend's house on Nantucket Island, is inspiration for Norm to build his version in The New Yankee Workshop. This square-topped, single drawer nightstand has 4 handsomely turned legs. Norm uses cherry for the body of the piece, and fashions the drawer front from tiger maple as a distinctive contrast. The simple elegance of this nightstand assures its place as a family heirloom.
