it's probably based on number of postings you have, i am guessing you need a certain number to do that.

LOL !!  No problem about the karma point !!  Thanks for the thought !! Yes,, this forum is designed to only let you give karma points or to smite someone after a certain number of postings !!  I forget how many !!  That is for those one timers that get PO`d for various reasons and then never come back !!
Good thing about this forum is we can go on like this and no one gets PO`d !!  We all love each other !!  I joined a forum a while back and it was like WWlll,, I did not go back !!
That reminds me,, I have to go give two karma points now !!  Darn,, !!

I think karma point giving comes only after 100 posts, not sure.

I should smite all of you, JUST BECAUSE!!

But I don't play that. Instead, you all get an applause/karma point because you play so endearingly together.

Back to business. Something's been bothering me about the rocker. Could the arms have been replaced in the craftsman era? That way we'd have a rocker that's both oak and walnut.

Yes, you are only allowed to praise or smite somebody after you have 100 posts.

This piece i think demonstrates my argument about what took place at the start of the 20th century in america. For half a century prior, victorian furniture of various styles in walnut dominated the american scene, it was affordable, plentiful and built on an enormous scale for a large and growing middle class. In 1900, all that changed, first off, walnut was getting expensive due to over cutting and 2, the style changed dramatically to the craftsman/mission style with quarter sawn oak as the primary wood. If you were a small manufacturer and could not afford to buy all new machines all at once to accommodate this new style era, what could you do?
If this chair is all quarter sawn oak (hard to tell with pics), that crest rail gives it away, it is clearly a late eastlake shallow relief carving with the rest of the chair in a somewhat awkward attempt at the new mission style. This guy took his existing machines that built victorian and did the best he could with what he had to work with. It happened a lot.

Raises an eyebrow at martha! Even if you did, i don't care, that whole karma thingy to me is quite silly and childish although i know some here don't feel the same as i do about it. BRING IT ON! SMITE AWAY OLD WOMAN! BAM!
