<p>[QUOTE="Illielee, post: 400727, member: 2814"]ok, boards are all joined with a combination of one large pinned tenon in the lower third of the board in addition to tongue and groove throughout. There is a groove running from top to the bottom of the lowest board, but not further down and all boards rabbited with tongues. this suggests to me that either the sides and back boards did not extend any further down, or that when it was modified they added the tongue and groove to tighten things up. I'll have go get back out and see if the drawers may have been shortened and if there's any signs on the top.</p><p><br /></p><p>the underside does look consistent with having possibly once held a drawer. there is a dust board on bottom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
