| #1301: 18 x 2 1/2 If you close your eyes you can visualize him. He's standing in front of his treadle-driven lathe. Wearing his thick leather shop apron, the 18th century turner stands majestically at his state-of-the-art 1740's lathe.

After a half-hour of tedious work what emerges is the perfect leg for his newest creation--the Colonial Coffee Table Leg.
