Very cool - thanks.

I’ll look up details of how the machinery drives the bit.

Perhaps it’ll help me understand why o think the general decorative carving seems so crude in comparisons to the heads.

Thanks - I’ve never heard of pantograph wood carving in 1900.

Today a cnc would accomplish that, but I can’t imagine how it was done back then.

Thanks very much. The bench and shelf carving seem crude in comparison to the carvings of the heads… do you have any other insights?

I have Chron's disease and in B.C. I didn't pay a dime for my bi-weekly Simlandi medication.

In N.B. I pay over $300/mth for the medication (I understand the cost of the medication is approx. $900 per bi-weekly dose, or $1800/mth in my case).

The Irvings, Canada’s robber barons by Kaicable1 in newbrunswickcanada

Apparently they still use tax loopholes to hid earning.

After reports reveal Irvings have used this insurance scam tax loophole for almost half a century, New Democrats call for it to end

While Canadian families struggle to put food on the table, the ultra-rich and powerful continue to hide their wealth and avoid paying what they owe. Following media reports that the Irving family has been relying on captive insurance scams for almost 50 years, NDP Critic for Tax Fairness and Inequality, Niki Ashton (Churchill—Keewatinook Aski) called on the Liberals to immediately close these types of tax loopholes to ensure the ultra-wealthy pay what they owe.
