I live in Chicago! Nice works here!
Have you been to their shop? When I lived in Columbus, OH it was only $40 for a shuttle flight to Chicago. Great town.J.P.http://www.jpkfinefurniture.com
Chicago is a GREAT place if ya do NOT live there!
Don't know if I could live there, but I did like to visit. Not much of a city dweller, however I could live in Boston. One of the best metropolitan cities I have had the pleasure of going to.J.P.http://www.jpkfinefurniture.com
I grew up in the greater Boston area, it is a great city! Lots of inspiration for woodworkers. If you ever get a chance, go to The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. A great collection of period as well as contemporary furniture masterpieces.
I lived in Salem for two years when I was in school. Went to the MFA quite a few times. However, I went to the Peabody Essex Museum a bit more since it was free for Salem residents. PEM has a pretty good period furniture collection, and they had the largest exhibition of work by John and Thomas Seymour. I think I saw the Seymour exhibit 10 times.J.P.http://www.jpkfinefurniture.com
