<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 529316, member: 5066"]What i do when seeking info about furniture from people i do not know is, carefully craft the text, VERY CAREFULLY, sometimes 3 or 4 drafts to get the language down in a precise way. No extra words, no fluff or flim flam, a tight vocabulary of precise nouns and vivid verbs helps you create strong mental pictures and avoid wordiness. As i'm often writing to academics, scholars or authorities on particular forms of furniture, they also write in that very tight text. It's short, direct and to the point. It's not conversational at all, just the facts ma'am.</p><p>I ALWAYS include good quality photographs, i want to attract them to the object in question and finally, i get their personal/business email address so i know it's going directly to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>That looks like machine carving to me Deanne, i could be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
