<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 10527617, member: 37&quot;]Finally got around to looking at new photos on my PC.&nbsp; Learned not to comment on photos seen on my phone, as you really can&#039;t see enough detail.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond what has been discussed, I do agree that #2 is walnut.&nbsp; I guess I need to say that the exposed nails used as decoration bother me a bit.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if this was a <i>Thing</i> back when this was purported to have been made but not something you often see.&nbsp; The two board doors also give me pause.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for #1, I think I am totally out of my league on this one.&nbsp; If it is a fake, it is an attractive one.&nbsp; I do think Jeff makes a convincing argument and I am now convinced.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Jeff on #3.&nbsp; The most convincing sign that this is a cobbled piece is the water mark on the bottom of the top door.&nbsp;&nbsp; How does that get there without some extreme damage to the surrounding wood?&nbsp; Cuts and sanded edges are all just too crisp for this to be an original piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that the OP will get an opinion from an expert in Southern furniture.&nbsp; This has been a good thread for discussion and learning.&nbsp; I can always stand to learn more and appreciate everyone&#039;s willingness to participate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
