S16E1 The Butterfly Table

Norm returns to Old Sturbridge Village, where he encounters a beautifully crafted table made by a colonial artisan over 200 years ago. Known as the "Butterfly" table, its name derives from the elegant drop leaves and wing-like supports that stabilize the surface. This adaptable piece can be utilized with its leaves fully extended, one side lowered, or even with both leaves dropped for easy placement against a wall. Constructed from cherry wood, the table features a rich dark stain and is safeguarded by a durable polyurethane finish.
