meflick Posted December 5, 2019 Report Posted December 5, 2019 Beautiful piece. Does someone in the family still have it? Quote
Scrappile Posted December 5, 2019 Report Posted December 5, 2019 That is a beauty! This if the truth, you can ask my wife and kids... I have always wanted to build a full size buckboard, like that. Never got to it as life progressed and one of the things I will not accomplish. The thing that makes me sad as I get ancient is no one in the family is wants anything that I have built, like the buckboard would have been. There just doesn't seem to be the pass it down mentality there use to be. Not sure that is bad, I don't know. My generation I think is about the last of antique and family heirlooms fans. My kids and what appears to me most latter generations are more of the if not used, toss it type. Maybe they are right because my wife and I do not know what the heck we should do with all this "stuff" we have accumulated in 52 years of marriage. Quote

That is a very, very sad commentary but unfortunately very true. So very sad! Quote
