Great boxes. Fun stuff. Back in the day - the hey-day of the Country antiques and our wheeling and dealing in them, I had quite a penchant for two things (among many others) adirondack stuff and shaker stuff. Every time I'd see someone cut down a paper birch - it would be in my truck and some adirondack piece made. But then I started reading about the Shakers, became enthralled, even to the point of spending the night at Shakertown and visiting a few other Shaker Villages. They fascinate me! I guess it was 38 years ago, we first stayed the night at Shakertown - a year before our daughter was born. Walked into the carpenter shop and bumped into a piece of wood that was leaning against the wall - a piece of poplar. Well, it was technically a plank. Some 3+ inches thick, 20+ feet long and somewhere about 5' foot wide - it reached almost to my chin. Probably plainsawn, but nowhere near the heart and no live edge. That was originally, one big tree. Now, again, remember I'm an old man and I am also a fisherman - so this may be inadvertently exaggerated by fuzzy memory cells. But it was a big piece of wood!
