<p>[QUOTE="Kennabonner, post: 9524811, member: 82554"]Hi, I'm Kenna. I am so happy to have found this forum. I've never been an antique person, hated going the shops - the dust, the musty smell - they reminded me of my great grandmother's house, and she was not great. I do, however, enjoy research. It's what I do for a living, although in oncology. Antique furniture appears to be only slightly more complex than cancer, with as many variations and microscopic details and a myriad of hard to recognize distinguishing characteristics. Naturally, I'm hooked. I only have one piece that I'm curious about for now. I've researched and learned as much as possible independently, but I'm still not even confident about the type of wood. I think I have it nailed down to between 1790-1810, but I'll post about it when I find the correct forum. I can see this becoming a hobby (or do we say obsession?) and am eager to learn more. I'll post about my piece in the correct forum. Just wanted to say I'm glad you're all here. Thank you!</p><p>Kenna[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
