niture. When a client commissions him to reproduce an antique, Mr. Coombs will spend several hours taking measurements and doing sketches of the piece. He will then return to his workshop, where he will normally produce two of the same piece. One will be for the client, and the other will be a sample for hifirto keep.
Mryjfcoombs uses the time honored traditional methods of building furniture - dovetailing and mortise and tenon joints with square pegs. He uses hand cut nails, which he obtains from Tremont Nail Company. Drawers are constructed with panel bottoms, which means the bottom piece of wood is not tightly fitted so that it can expand and contract with weather changes. If it was squeezed tightly into the bottom of the drawer, it would make the drawer hard to open and close at times.
