<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 297655, member: 5066"]Hepplewhite, 1830-1850, country piece because it appears top has been nailed on judging by the dark stains around holes. Is it pit sawn? maybe but can't be sure from pic's provided. I would add that pit saws were used in Washington DC as late as the Lincoln admin. or 1860s in constructing federal buildings.</p><p>If top is nailed, it's a bit odd because legs are attached with mortise & tenon joints and pinned with wood pegs, why isn't top pegged in the same way to the apron?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
