Oh it's a deal! A real butcher? Oh my.....
You’re welcome! :)
Still catching up....
Good morning, monte....you are quite modern...very nice looking chair.
BTTT

So far, it doesn’t look good. So many lisa lies, broken laws, all the media doing everything that they can to destroy Joe, and laws be damned.
Because “Write In” has more votes, the legal path has kicked in. But....those laws are already being bent. Hand count of write in ballots and absentee ballots is supposed to start in a couple weeks, but the date has already been moved. Listening to Joe on the radio today gives me some hope. We will see when we see.

Hmmmm, Dark, that is some chair. LOL!
It's Scuttlebutt Time!!
Thanks!
A few years ago (15), in Ruidosa, New Mexico, a highly tourist mountain town, in a specialty leather shop, there was a wonderful chair. I wanted it. It was hand made by an elderly man in Louisiana. It was a extra wide, high back, wonderful rocking chair. Sturdier than any I had seen before. The seat was covered in a cowhide (hair and all). About $600.00. Really too expensive for the money available at the time. I thought of that chair (still do evidently) and thought of ordering it somehow. When I was back to Ruidosa a few years later the store was no longer in business.. An elderly man building great chairs one at a time is rare. Maybe that is the message ... it was unattainable.
You will ping me.............right?

Well, Geologist, I went to Google ‘images’, typed in “rocking chair cowhide”, and came across some interesting chairs - but this link had some very interesting STURDY chairs - so I checked it out.
Guess where it turned out to be? Ruidoso, NM!
Here’s the link: http://casadecorruidoso.com/BENCHES.aspx
It gives a circular cascade of furniture pictures, and you click which one you want to look at. (And, they cannot be copied, so I’m just sending you the link.)
Thank You, yorkie, for the link. It is a good one. It has been about 4 years since I last went to Ruidosa and I did not go shopping at all. It was a family get together for 3 days and I spent the time with the family and the grandchildren . We rented a five bedroom ‘heiress’ getaway. It is about 350 plus miles away. I do love the mountains.
Welcome to the Canteen, geologist...what a wonderful memory. Stumbling over such workmanship is always a delight...and even if unattainable, a joy just to admire.
