Episode Overview

Norm travels to the historic Old Schwamb Mill in Arlington, Massachusetts, a facility established in 1860 and acquired by German woodworkers Charles and Frederick Schwamb in 1864. The brothers thrived by producing popular oval picture frames for Civil War soldier portraits. While exploring their former office, Norm discovers a beautiful quarter-sawn oak roll top desk, which sparks his inspiration to create his own rendition of this iconic American piece. This episode is the second part of a two-part series and features a fresh introduction from Norm Abram, revisiting a project from Season 10, Episode 13.
