Very interesting. It was nice to see someone with the means to do so was
willing to invest in such a fine collection... it lends a boost to the
legitimacy of the creation of 18th century style pieces made with 18th
century construction methods. Though a vastly different thing from making
pieces that look 18th century but are made with 20-21st century construction
methods such works are often considered modern... which seems to brand them
as illegitimate.

Did you see the description of the lumber yard owner's business /
residence property? 300 acres... NICE!

A nice little 3000 foot airstrip would tuck right in there... <G>
