The inspiration for the finish on the New Yankee version of this Victorian entry-way piece is the Arts and Crafts Movement. To achieve this "burnt" effect, Norm builds himself an airtight chamber in which the oak piece is fumed. The piece is built from light oak and features a mirror and clay pot holders to catch the raindrops from the resting umbrellas.
