Host Norm Abram visits the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C., which boasts a stunning collection of fine furniture including original Sheraton and Chippendale. Among the collection, Norm discovers a sophisticated mahogany dressing table with a foldaway mirror and graceful turned legs that he decides to replicate in
The New Yankee Workshop. In the second of two episodes devoted to the making of an heirloom-quality dressing table, Norm learns how the U.S. Forest Service regulates the flow of timber to end users. Afterwards he goes behind-the-scenes at a plywood mill in nearby Asheville to see how high-quality plywood is made.
This is the first of two "Dressing Table" episodes.
