Last night, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Myers and I showed up at Mr. Turner's lovely home to share a meal and shoot the...well, we did try out the shooting board in the shop... After a most-excellent meal, we did the "furniture tour" and then retired downstairs to the heart of Alan's lair to fondle tools. I will admit I was feeling a little "Neander pressure" with that crowd!! The two New Englanders were in the area for a period furniture event near Lancaster PA.
Now...I have to say that in no way do Alan's excellent pictures of that beautiful Newport Kneehole Desk do full justice to the workmanship and quality it exudes. It's really jaw-dropping when you can actually touch it and see the details of the carvings as well as discover how "slinky" the drawers are when you move them. Totally awe inspiring!!
Anyway, here's a couple pictures to prove we all do exist and did exist in the same place at the same time...an no, we were no longer hungry at these points!
