Welcome to Tutorial Thursday! Today we're learning about corbels. What is a corbel, you might ask? Well, I'm sure you've seen them before. Possibly your home even has corbels, but you may not know what they are called.

Phillips, Steven J. Old-House Dictionary. Lakewood, Colorado: American Source Books, 1989.
