<p>[QUOTE="Hollyblue, post: 447010, member: 1496"]Maybe it was the context of the comment,an over generalization of techniques and tools used.The holes in your piece mean little as far as dating,pieces locked into a stable precision machine like a CNC router will look "perfect". Any thing held by hand and using hand tools for the most part will have irregular holes,curves,etc. A fake might be easy to be noticed that an antique has been modified with modern tools,but if original type tools are used some experts cannot tell what is what.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
