"I guess there were wood lovers 100+ years ago also."
Even longer than that- the Egyptians were putting veneers on furniture 4000 years ago, recognizing the beauty and rarity of certain species. Thanks for posting the pics; pretty stuff.

Does anyone have an idea how old the wood that ended up on one of these marvelous doubles might be. Could the tree that produced the wood that was used on a 1914 gun have been planted in the 1700's or early 1800's? I've wondered about that for some time and this thread begs the question.

I guess I got in on the tail end of the original thread and it sort of burned out. Any thoughts on this?
