<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808Beachbum, post: 11137386, member: 95638&quot;]Would you be able to highlight the joint between the two boards? I am including an image of the top of the seat so you can compare with the bottom pics. I clearly see grain going in different directions, but I do not see a clear through line, which I would think over such a known long period of time, would have become more obvious, as I have seen on other old family pieces. I&#039;m no woodworker, but could that seat have been cut from a burl piece? With regard to your comments of &quot;saw marks&quot;, could you also point those out? Are they hand cuts or do you believe machine made? It seems to me the scrolls on the top rail and on the ends of the arms are hand made, would you agree? </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if I am being dense here, but as I originally mentioned I have had several knowledgeable folks study the chair over the past 50 years, but there has been no consensus on the when, what or why. Actually you are first to identify a two plank seat. I have no intention of selling regardless, but I am just trying to get the best info to pass along with it to my nieces. </p><p><br /></p><p>Much mahalo for anything further you can provide!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537331[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537332[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
