BRIDGE LEG TABLE

Last month we featured a bridge leg table

(“bridge leg table” isn’t a recognized style—

we have taken the liberty to give it this

name), and this month we have a variation

on the theme. Sure, it’s wood and this pub-

lication is about iron, but it’s a unique appli-

cation because the joinery is borrowed

from it’s iron counterpart. This version is

perhaps more attractive than the one

shown last month because of its propor-

tions, and it can serve as a model for a

table made of iron instead of wood.

SPECIAL EDITION

The focus of this issue is colonial ironwork.

As blacksmiths, we draw upon the seeming-

ly endless possibilities of style, utility and

artistic expression inherent in the material

we use. Colonial ironwork is perhaps one

of the most recognizable styles of ironwork

in this country. It’s simplicity and unmistak-

able character is something understood by

layperson and blacksmith alike. For the

blacksmith it is an opportunity to produce a

style of work purely dependent on tradi-

tional techniques and materials.

Most of the content for this issue is inspired

by the book “Colonial Wrought Iron” by

Don Plummer. To learn more, or to order
