The January 17th WWG meeting will consist of a presentation called “Museum Pieces” by Jeff Headly.
Jeff and his business partner Steve will be bringing several miniature period furniture pieces, some of which come apart to examine the joints needed to build the piece. One of those pieces is a miniature highboy.
He will also bring a Federal tea table similar to the one they made for Arlington House, which was originally George Washington’s tea table. This piece also comes apart to show its construction.
In addition, Jeff and Steve will have parts from various projects that will serve as conversation pieces for questions and answers.
