Unlike anything else Norm has built on the show, these three small mahogany tables store into one another to form a "nest."

Prowling antiques stores for a suitable project to build on NEW YANKEE, Norm encounters Matt Buckely, an appraiser and antiques expert, who shows him an interesting nest of tables. Unlike anything else Norm has built on the show, these three small mahogany tables store into one another to form a "nest." The examples that Matt shows Norm are likely to be English circa 1920 and are derived from the Chippendale style. Norm decides to build his own version from walnut given to him by an arborist friend and to reproduce the fine inlay detail of the original.
