[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4380594, member: 5066"]That is a full-on cock beaded drawer front in the photo above where they take thin strips of wood and wrap them around the drawer edge. Your table OTOH hand is called a "scratch bead" where they cut/scratch a groove on the face of the drawer front edge that makes it look like it is cock beaded. Cock-Beaded drawer [ATTACH=full]367367[/ATTACH] Scratch Beaded drawer/ cut a groove in the drawer face [ATTACH=full]367368[/ATTACH] Still, the Shakers frowned on decoration/ornamentation in their furniture, they considered it "not honest". They did not use imported woods either, strictly native species, the Shakers were "hard-core" in their beliefs & religious practices. Minimalist design that is extreme to the point of "understated elegance" is how I would put it.[/QUOTE]
