This piece is on the cover of Thomas Elfe, Cabinetmaker by Samuel Humphrey. Included in the book are measured drawings that were used in reproducing this piece.
I must give much credit to Don Harris, Matt Hobbs, and especially my dad, Ben Hobbs, for all the work he did in stock prep and general figuring out of the piece as we were all building one of these.
