SCULPTOR'S TABLE, solid oak base, hand wrought hardware, craftsman style construction, splayed legs with cross bracing, pinned mortice and tenon joinery, 27.5" high, 24X24X2" solid maple top, weighs ~80#, top revolves--but not too easily because you want your workpiece to stay put, decades old--from university sculpting laboratory, top is newer, because the top is removable it is UPSable, Ex, $400. When I got this it had the original top. That original top, although extremely well constructed with 3 thick layers of oak laminated at right angles to each other, was completely destroyed. The wood fibers were almost all separated. That's what happens when you sculpt heavy stone pieces on top of it. The base, however, is still extremely strong--a testament to how well made it is. The mallet and chisel are not included.
