Abstract

This small table with a faux drawer is made from walnut and is today located as a bedside nightstand table in President Jimmy Carter's home in Plains, Georgia. Like many of the other furnishings in his home, this table was hand-made by President Carter. The piece was selected for 3D documentation by the USF DHHC, with input and collaboration with the Carter family, the National Park Service, and the Friends of Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. Methods used to document the table included 3D structured light scanning with photographic texture mapping. Photogrammetric methods were also used.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a tall, narrow side table with a square tabletop and a fake drawer facade built just below it. The legs of the table are tapered, resulting in the feet being smaller in diameter than their tops that attach to the tabletop. The wood has been stained to a medium-dark brown and some minor signs of wear can be seen on the surface. The model can be rotated, moved, and zoomed in and out to allow for viewing of additional details at multiple angles.
