Six and a half years later!

I've just been fixing my photos by removing* all the logos that Photobucket so rudely put on top of my images.

It's given me the opportunity to update some of the posts and add this one, with some details about the Windsor chair that I delivered to my granddaughter. I didn't have access to any of the photos, when I was on the road.

Here's the chair:

Following on from aa62's "Unintended Consequences" post, here's an engraving of Jack Goodchild, with a very appropriate title: "He heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them" :

The true Chair-maker was a superior Craftsman & Naphill bred. Perhaps the greatest of all of them was Jack Goodchild who could take a log of wood and, doing all the work himself, create a Windsor Chair of exquisite beauty.
