06:15.633 --> 06:18.300 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% And we bought and sold lumber, 06:18.300 --> 06:21.333 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% bought and sold

align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% And it was a simpler form of furniture. 07:00.333 --> 07:02.233 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% It didn't have the heavy turnings 07:02.233 --> 07:04.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% and things of the Queen Anne Period or something. 07:06.100 --> 07:07.500 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% It was much more elegant, 07:07.500 --> 07:09.766 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% and it had inlays on it, which I liked. 07:09.766 --> 07:11.100 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% I loved to make inlays. 07:11.100 --> 07:12.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% We're gonna talk about that later, 07:12.933 --> 07:15.566 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% that I love to make inlays. 07:15.566 --> 07:17.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% And the Federal furniture had inlays on it. 07:17.900 --> 07:20.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% So I have concentrated in the last several years 07:20.433 --> 07:24.966 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% on two things, Tennessee furniture 07:24.966 --> 07:28.133 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and anything having to do with Federal furniture. 07:28.133 --> 07:30.100 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% - So you're a member of the Society 07:30.100 --> 07:32.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% of American Period Furniture Makers? 07:32.133 --> 07:33.066 align:start position:40% line:84.67% size:17.5% - I am. 07:33.066 --> 07:34.066 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% - It's a great organization. 07:34.066 --> 07:34.866 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:32.5% - Yes, it is. 07:36.666 --> 07:39.000 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% They have chapters all over the country. 07:39.000 --> 07:40.766 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% The majority of the chapters, of course, 07:40.766 --> 07:43.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% are in the Northeast where the furniture makers were. 07:43.633 --> 07:46.166 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% As you moved west over time, 07:47.966 --> 07:49.933 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% furniture styles changed. 07:49.933 --> 07:52.766 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% And here in the East, 07:54.533 --> 07:58.866 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% they were much more fancy than they were here in Tennessee, 07:58.866 --> 08:01.000 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% which was the west country. 08:01.000 --> 08:05.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% The furniture makers that came into the Tennessee Valley 08:05.366 --> 08:09.366 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% came down through Virginia and down the Great Wagon Road, 08:09.366 --> 08:12.200 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% got up to the Cumberland Gap, and they split. 08:12.200 --> 08:13.433 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% Some went to Kentucky. 08:13.433 --> 08:15.433 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% Some came to Tennessee. 08:15.433 --> 08:18.966 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% The people that went to Kentucky carried the inlay, 08:20.066 --> 08:22.333 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% fancier furniture with them. 08:22.333 --> 08:23.700 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% Some people that came 08:23.700 --> 08:25.633 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% to Middle Tennessee brought a little of that, 08:25.633 --> 08:30.600 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% but you very seldom see much inlaid Tennessee furniture. 08:31.500 --> 08:33.033 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% Kentucky, you see a lot. 08:33.033 --> 08:35.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% The only exception to that is right up in the corner 08:35.500 --> 08:38.366 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% of East Tennessee, Greene County and Washington County. 08:38.366 --> 08:42.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% That place was a hotbed of inlaid furniture. 08:42.433 --> 08:45.866 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% And most of those cabinet makers had escaped (chuckles) 08:45.866 --> 08:48.000 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% from the large cities in the East, 08:48.000 --> 08:52.900 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% where they were burdened by pattern books and guilds. 08:52.900 --> 08:55.233 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% They weren't able to make what they wanted. 08:55.233 --> 08:58.033 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% They had to meet what the guild wanted them to make. 08:58.033 --> 09:01.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% So their design was fixed, you know. 09:01.566 --> 09:03.633 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% They could only charge what they wanted to, 09:03.633 --> 09:05.166 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and they had a certain plan that they had 09:05.166 --> 09:06.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% to follow that the guild demanded. 09:06.966 --> 09:09.966 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% But when they got to the west country, Tennessee, Kentucky, 09:09.966 --> 09:11.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% they could do whatever they wanted to. 09:11.466 --> 09:13.200 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:25% - Freedom. - Freedom, they had freedom. 09:13.200 --> 09:15.566 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% And so the Tennessee and Kentucky furniture 09:16.900 --> 09:21.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% is a expression of that freedom, yeah. 09:21.200 --> 09:23.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% And they took some of the elements back there 09:23.466 --> 09:24.766 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% and some of the design, 09:24.766 --> 09:27.700 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% but the furniture in this part 09:27.700 --> 09:29.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% of the country was always several years 09:29.666 --> 09:34.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% behind the most modern stuff on the East Coast. 09:34.100 --> 09:39.066 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% If it was popular in 1750, say, in Boston, 09:39.966 --> 09:41.466 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% it wouldn't reach Tennessee, 09:41.466 --> 09:44.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% the style wouldn't reach Tennessee until 1800. 09:44.466 --> 09:46.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% You know, it would take years for it. 09:46.466 --> 09:49.733 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% We are spoiled today by instant communication. 09:49.733 --> 09:51.000 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% Those guys didn't have that. 09:51.000 --> 09:52.900 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% I mean, you had to carry it by a wagon, you know? 09:52.900 --> 09:54.300 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% - Yeah, it took a long time 09:54.300 --> 09:55.666 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% for it filter down. - Right, took a long time 09:55.666 --> 09:57.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% for it to filter down. - To get here, yes. 09:57.366 --> 09:59.000 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:32.5% - Didn't have magazines to look at. 09:59.000 --> 10:00.366 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% Didn't have books to read. 10:00.366 --> 10:02.966 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% Somebody had to tote, as we would say in Tennessee, 10:02.966 --> 10:07.100 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% tote that piece from over in on the coast 10:07.100 --> 10:09.733 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% into the central part of the country. 10:09.733 --> 10:12.133 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% - And some of these pieces weren't easy to tote. 10:12.133 --> 10:13.266 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:20% - Oh no. - Yeah. 10:13.266 --> 10:14.633 align:start position:42.5% line:79.33% size:15% - Big. - Imagine that on a wagon. 10:14.633 --> 10:15.666 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% - Right, yeah. 10:17.100 --> 10:21.033 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - The history is just amazing. 10:21.033 --> 10:22.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% - Well, that's part of what the Society 10:22.600 --> 10:24.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% of American Period Furniture Makers does. 10:24.600 --> 10:25.833 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40% They study that. 10:25.833 --> 10:28.966 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% And we meet every year at Williamsburg 10:28.966 --> 10:31.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% where we have a meeting there and go over it. 10:31.566 --> 10:34.500 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% Williamsburg has a great furniture collection. 10:34.500 --> 10:36.900 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% And then we have a midyear meeting, 10:36.900 --> 10:41.266 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% usually at some other place historically relevant 10:41.266 --> 10:46.166 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% to furniture making and specific sites, styles. 10:46.166 --> 10:49.200 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% This year we're meeting up in Pennsylvania. 10:49.200 --> 10:50.933 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% We've met in Knoxville before. 10:50.933 --> 10:54.100 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% We've actually had a meeting in Knoxville a few years ago 10:54.100 --> 10:57.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% at the Tennessee Historical Society up there. 10:57.133 --> 11:00.233 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% They've got this secretary very similar 11:00.233 --> 11:02.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% to this one there in their office. 11:04.300 --> 11:08.766 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% - Well, you have been honored, I
