[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 280580, member: 5066"]What made this area unique in colonial times, according to Chris Storb, it was the only area in the colonies that used oak in secondary wood furniture construction between 1700-1740. Coming out of the pilgrim century era (1620-1720) where furniture was built by joiners with both primary & secondary woods being oak, it's like the cabinetmakers from the william & mary period onward wanted nothing to do with oak, except here. America would not see oak furniture, either primary or secondary wood, built out of oak again until 1900 when the golden age of oak began, 200 years after the pilgrim era ended.[/QUOTE]
