The New Yankee Workshop

Season 8 Episode 3: Paymaster's Desk

The owners of this unusual table, Jack and Jamie of Schramsberg Vineyards in Calistoga, California, told Norm that it was originally a Mexican paymaster's table, carried on horseback, and used to pay groups of laborers on site. Built of recycled pine, the desk functions quite well today as an end table - and conversation piece. The desk has splayed legs with a stretcher and a two-sided pull-through drawer once used for holding money.
