Just my opinion; but by opening it up; and not following through with repairs, conservation and reframing... you may just be opening up a can of worms that you don't want to deal with.... assuming of course, that it IS pre-1825 or so. The next buyer might rather deal with it themselves. LOL... on the other hand; if you do remove the back - I'd love to see it... clear close up of course. Cheerio Leslie[/QUOTE]
