<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Henry Clay Rosedown Armoire, double door;</div><br/></b>

<div><br><b> Gothic Revival Rosewood "winged" Armoire</b> known as the Henry Clay Rosedown Plantation Armoire. This magnificent armoire was originally made by Crawford Riddell of Philadelphia for the White House (more specifically for the bedroom now known as the Lincoln Bedroom), and commissioned by the supporters of Henry Clay during his bid for the Presidency in 1844.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Though he fully expected to win the highly contested race, Clay lost the election to Democratic candidate James K. Polk.</b> Indeed, Clay"s prospects for the top seat were so strong, that Riddell, having received what was likely the most important commission of the 19th century, had gathered the finest cabinetmakers in the Northeast to assist him in the manufacture of the set, including this armoire, to ensure it would be ready for Clay's seemingly imminent inauguration. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>After the votes were tallied, however, and Clay had lost his bid for the presidency,</b> this prized bedroom suite was sold by Clay"s supporters to Daniel Turnbull, the most affluent cotton planter in the South and reportedly one of the wealthiest men in America. Turnbulls renowned showpiece home, Rosedown Plantation, was certainly befitting a set of furniture originally intended for the White House.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>He purchased the set and in true Turnbull fashion, </b>built a wing onto this mansion in St. Francisville, Louisiana, especially to house his glorious bedroom suite.</b> The new wing was so monumental, Turnbull added another wing to the opposite side of the house in order to preserve its classic symmetry! </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The entire set, including this glorious armoire, was moved into Turnbull's </b>specially built bedroom in 1845 where it remained until 2000 when the State of Louisiana purchased the Rosedown Plantation.  </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Circa 1844 </div><br/></b>

<div><br><b>The Rosedown Plantation was sold in 2000 to the State of Louisiana for approximately $5.5 million.</b> The matching bed to this armoire was acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art for $450,000. The small chest of drawers is now on display at the Minneapolis Museum of Fine Arts. The cheval mirror was sold at auction and the two small washstands were kept by the former owner of Rosedown Plantation. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Crafted of absolutely the finest Brazilian rosewood</b> (a species that is now extinct), the armoire is flanked by two gothic columns that open on the sides to hold clothes, hence the reference to a "winged" wardrobe. The center doors open to reveal more storage and an interior chest of drawers. Each section retains its original blue paint on the interior. Even the drawers are beautifully finished in Brazilian rosewood on the interior. The armoire is in overall mint condition. In terms of quality, rarity, provenance, and historical significance, it is arguably the finest and most important armoire to come on the market in many, many years.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>PROVENANCE:</b> Empress Eugenie, Farnborough Hill, Hoarcross Hall, Staffordshire.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>This rosewood armoire was made for and owned by Empress Eugenie,</b> wife of Emperor Napoleon III. The armoire bears the hallmarks of resplendent furnishings made specifically for the French Royal House, including the crossed "L" on the doors representing Louis XIV and his passion for lavish interiors. An exceptional example of craftsmanship and design, the depth of hand-carving imparted on this armoire is exquisite and its size is monumental. Fine rosewood furnishings are some of the most sought after on the market. Coupled with royal provenance, this armoire is superb.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Circa 1850</b>

<div><br><b>When the Second French Empire was overthrown after France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871),</b> the Empress and her husband took refuge in England and settled at Camden Place in Chislehurst. Napoleon III died in 1873 but the Empress did not move until she purchased Farnborough Hill in 1879. It is believed that this armoire was originally part of the furnishings at Camden Place, which the royal couple had owned since 1862. The Empress died on July 11th 1920 but the contents were not dispersed until the death of her grandson, Prince Victor Napoleon, in 1926.</div><br/>

<div><br> <b>The scarf joint in woodworking, there are two distinctly different categories of scarf, based on whether the joint has interlocking faces or not.</b> A plain scarf is simply two flat planes meeting on an angle relative to the axis of the stock being joined, and depends entirely on adhesive and/or mechanical fastening (screws, bolts, etc.) for all strength.  Structured scarf joint includes  hooked, keyed, and nibbed scarfs and are some of the many example of interlocking scarfs, offering varying degrees of tensile and compressive strength, though most still depend on mechanical fastening to keep the joint closed.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>A splice joint is a method of joining two members end to end in woodworking.</b> The splice joint is used when the material being joined is not available in the length required. It is an alternative to other joints such as the butt joint and the scarf joint. Splice joints are stronger than unreinforced butt joints and have the potential to be stronger than a scarf joint. They are more visible than a scarf joint but may be preferred when more strength is required.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Splices are therefore most often used when structural elements are required in longer lengths than the available material.</b> The most common form of the splice joint is the half lap splice, which is common in building construction, where it is used to join shorter lengths of timber into longer beams.

<div><br> <b>Mortise and tenon, simple and strong- The mortise and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, usually when the pieces are at an angle close to 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â°. </b>Although there are many variations on the theme, the basic idea is that the end of one of the members is inserted into a hole cut in the other member. The end of the first member is called the tenon, and it is usually narrowed with respect to the rest of the piece. The hole in the second member is called the mortise. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place. This joint is also used with other materials and, for example, is a traditional method for Stonemasons and Blacksmiths.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Pinner-Corner-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>A mortise is a cavity cut into a timber to receive a tenon.</b> There are several kinds of mortises.

<div><br> <b>Open mortise</b> - A mortise that has only three sides. (See Bridle joint).</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Stub mortise or "suicide" joint</b> - A shallow mortise, depth depends on the size of the timber; also a mortise that does not go through the work-piece (as opposed to a "through mortise"). the back is wider, or taller, than the front, or opening. The space for the wedge initially allows room for the tenon to be inserted, the presence of the wedge, after the tenon has been engaged, prevents its withdrawal. Sometimes called a "suicide" joint - since it is strictly a "one way trip".</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Stub-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Through wedged half-dovetail </b>- A wedged half-dovetail mortise that passes entirely through the piece.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>A tenon is a projection on the end of a timber for insertion into a mortise. </b>Usually the tenon is taller than it is wide. There are several kinds of tenons.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Stub tenon </b>- A short tenon; depth depends on the size of the timber; also a tenon that is shorter than the width of the mortised piece so the tenon does not show (as opposed to a "through tenon").</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Tusk tenon </b>- A kind of mortise and tenon joint that uses a wedge-shaped key to hold the joint together.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Through tenon</b> - A tenon that passes entirely through the piece of wood it is inserted into, being clearly visible on the back side.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Wedge-Tenon-Joint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Teasel tenon</b> - A term used for the tenon on top of a jowled or gunstock post, which is typically received by the mortise in the underside of a tie beam. A common element of the English tying joint.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Top tenon </b>- The tenon that occurs on top of a post.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Feather-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Feather tenon </b>- A round-shouldered machined fillet or feather which is glued into a machine (router) made slot or mortise on each side of the joint.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Haunched-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Generally the size of the mortise and tenon is related to the thickness of the timbers.</b> It is considered good practice to proportion the tenon as 1/3rd the thickness of the rail, or as close to this as is practical. The haunch, the cut away part of a sash corner joint that prevents the tenon coming loose, is one third the length of the tenon and one sixth of the width of the tenon in its depth. The remaining two-thirds of the rail, the tenon shoulders help to counteract lateral forces that might tweak the tenon from the mortise, contributing to its strength. These also serve to hide imperfections in the opening of the mortise.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>The finger joint - (Also known as "box joint" or "comb joint") is made by cutting a set of complementary rectangular cuts in two pieces of wood, which are then glued.</b> To visualize a finger joint simply interlock the fingers of your hands at a ninety degree angle; hence the name "finger joint." It is stronger than a butt or lap joint, and often forms part of the overall look of the piece.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Boxjoint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The history of the finger joint is believed to have begun with wooden produce boxes or crates in the days before modern, man-made materials.</b> Finger joints were originally cut by hand with saws and sharp chisels. In modern times they are easily and quickly made with a table saw or router and a jig or fixture, which can be shop-made or purchased from a specialty woodworking supply store. A finger joint jig typically consists of a moving fence with an indexing pin that is used to evenly space out the cuts. The fence is moved over a cutting blade making a cut that is then moved over the indexing pin so the next cut can be made.</div> </br>


<div><br> <b>The strength of a finger joint comes from the long-grain to long-grain contact between the fingers, which provides a solid gluing surface.</b> The number of contact points also allows for more gluing surface as opposed to a butt joint or a rabbet joint.</div> </br>


<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>The Dovetail Joint Pre Dates Written History As Shown On This Romanian Church</b></div id="red14"></div></center>


<div><br> <b>A dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a joint technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery.</b> Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join for example the sides of a drawer to the front. A series of pins cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series of tails cut into the end of another board. The pins and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners.</div> </br>





<left><img src="/images/Dovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>The dovetail joint pre-dates written history.</b> Some of the earliest known examples of the dovetail joint are in furniture entombed with mummies dating from First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, as well the tombs of Chinese emperors. The dovetail design is an important method of distinguishing various periods of furniture.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Finished-Dovetail.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Dovetails can be cut by hand or by machines, often with an electric router and using one of a range of commercially available jigs or templates.</b> Although it is technically a straight forward process, hand-cutting dovetails requires a high degree of accuracy to ensure a snug fit and so can be difficult to master. The pins and tails must fit together with no gap between them so that the joint interlocks tightly with no movement. Thus the cutting of dovetails by hand is regarded as a mark of skill on the part of the craftsperson.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red14"><b>It Takes A Master Craftsman To Hand Cut Perfect Joints</b></div id="red14"></div></center>

<left><img src="/images/Dovetail-Chisel.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The angle of slope varies according to the wood used.</b> Typically the slope is 1:6 for softwoods and a shallower 1:8 slope for hardwoods. Often a slope of 1:7 is used as a compromise - perhaps using a dovetail template for marking out.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>When being cut by hand, there are two schools of thought as to whether the pins or the tails should be cut first.</b> For pins first, the pins are laid out and cut by the chosen method, then the outline of the pins is transferred to the face of the tail board. For tails first, the tails are laid out and cut and then the outline is transferred to the end grain of the pin board. Each has advantages and it is a personal choice as to which is chosen.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Hand cut dovetails can often be distinguished from machine-cut dovetails by the width of the pins.</b> It is possible to have pins that are almost triangular when cut by hand that are not possible when cut with a router, owing to the thickness of the router bit's shank. These narrow pins are known as London Pins.</div> </br>



<div><br> <b> A through dovetail joint </b> (also known as plain dovetail) joint, where the end grain of both boards is visible when the joint is assembled. Through dovetails are common in carcass and box construction. Traditionally, the dovetails would have often be covered by a veneer. However, dovetails have become a signature of craftsmanship and are generally considered a feature, so they are rarely concealed in contemporary work.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-throughdovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>A half-blind dovetail is used when the craftsman does not wish end grain to be visible from the front of the item.</b> The tails are housed in sockets in the ends of the board that is to be the front of the item so that their ends cannot be seen. Half-blind dovetails are commonly used to fasten drawer fronts to drawer sides. This is an alternative to the practice of attaching false fronts to drawers constructed using through dovetails.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-halfblinddovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>The sliding dovetail is a method of joining two boards at right angles, where the intersection occurs within the field of one of the boards, that is not at the end.</b> This joint provides the interlocking strength of a dovetail. Sliding dovetails are assembled by sliding the tail into the socket. It is common to slightly taper the socket, making it slightly tighter towards the rear of the joint, so that the two components can be slid together easily but the joint becomes tighter as the finished position is reached.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-slidingdovetail.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The full-blind dovetail obscures the mechanics of the joint altogether.</b> This variant is used in fine work when the craftsperson requires the strength of a dovetail but without the visual intrusion of the interlocking pins and tails. Two versions of this joint are the secret double-lapped dovetail and the full-blind mitered dovetail. The former presents a very thin section of end grain on one edge of the joint, whilst the latter does not. When used in drawer construction, a "full-blind dovetail" is known as a "French dovetail."</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Some of these ancient joints and has been found joining the wooden planks of the "Khufu ship", a 43.6 m long vessel sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex of the Fourth Dynasty around 2,500 BC.</b> It has also been found in archeological sites in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. In traditional Chinese architecture, wood components such as beams, brackets, roof frames and struts were made to interlock with perfect fit, without using fasteners or glues, enabling the wood to expand and contract according to humidity. Archaeological evidence from Chinese sites show that by the end of the Neolithic, mortise and tenon joinery was employed in Chinese construction. The 30 sarsen stones of Stonehenge were dressed and fashioned with mortise and tenon joints before they were erected between 2600 and 2400 B.C.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Biscuit.jpg"></left>
<div><br> <b>A butt joint is a joinery technique in which two members are joined by simply butting them together. </b>The butt joint is the simplest joint to make since it merely involves cutting the members to the appropriate length and butting them together. It is also the weakest because unless some form of reinforcement is used (see below) it relies upon glue alone to hold it together. Because the orientation of the members usually present only end grain to long grain gluing surface, the resulting joint is inherently weak.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Bridle Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>

<div><br> <b>A bridle joint is a woodworking joint, similar to a mortise and tenon, in that a tenon is cut on the end of one member and a mortise is cut into the other to accept it.</b> The distinguishing feature is that the tenon and the mortise are cut to the full width of the tenon member.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/T-Bridle.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The corner bridle joint (also known as a slot mortise and tenon) joins two members at their respective ends, forming a corner. </b>This form of the joint is commonly used to house a rail in uprights, such as legs. It provides good strength in compression and is fairly resistant to racking, although a mechanical fastener or pin is often required. The bridle joint is very popular in workbench construction.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>A Butterfly joint is a type of joint used either to hold two or more wooden boards together or to keep two halves of a board that have already started to split from splitting further.</b> They may also be used to stabilize the core of a knothole, preventing it from dropping out over time. A butterfly joint resembles two dovetails connected at the narrow part. A negative of the hole is cut out of the board the butterfly will be placed in and the butterfly is then fitted, keeping the joint together. The wood used for the butterfly is usually a contrasting wood, often walnut.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Coping Or Scribing Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>


<div><br> <b>Coping or scribing is the woodworking technique of shaping the end of a moulding or frame component to fit the contours of an abutting member.</b> Most English speaking countries outside the US use the terms scribe and scribing. Coping is commonly used in the fitting of skirting and other moldings in a room. It allows for clean joints between intersecting members when walls are not square to each other. The other method of fitting these moldings that is commonly used is the mitre joint but this technique relies upon the walls being at 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° to each other for neat results. </div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Coped-Joint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Coping is only ever used for internal corners.</b> External corners are always mitered. The main reason that scribed joints are used is that timber shrinks in width far more than it does in length. By using a scribed joint rather than an internal mitre joint the effect of shrinkage is minimized. Also it is possible to arrange the scribed joints pointing away from the most common viewpoint (usually the doorway of a room) and so present the best appearance.</div> </br>



</left><div><br><b>A scribed joint</b> (right end of sketch) is derived from an internal mitre cut (left end) by cutting along the inside face of the mitre cut at a right angle to the board, typically with a coping saw.</div><br/>


<left><img src="/images/Scribed-joint.jpg">


<div><br> <b>Coping is also commonly used in cabinet making for moldings and frame components.</b> The rails in frame and panel construction are commonly cope cut to fit the profile of the stiles. The technique is also common in the construction of doors and windows.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Rail And Stile  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>

<div><br> <b>Frame and panel construction (also called "rail and stile") is a woodworking technique often used in the making of doors, wainscoting, and other decorative features for cabinets, furniture, and homes.</b> The basic idea is to capture a 'floating' panel within a sturdy frame, as opposed to techniques like slab drawer fronts which are simply single pieces of material with exposed end-grains. Usually, the panel is not glued to the frame - it is left to 'float' within it so that seasonal movement of the wood comprising the panel does not distort the frame.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Frame and panel construction at its most basic consists of five members:</b> The panel and the four members which make up the frame. The vertical members of the frame are called stiles while the horizontal members are known as rails. A basic frame and panel item consists of a top rail, a bottom rail, two stiles, and a panel. This is a common method of constructing cabinet doors and these are often referred to as a five piece door.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>In larger panels it is common to divide the panel into one or more sections.</b> To house the extra panels, dividing pieces known as mid rails and mid stiles or muntins are added to the frame.</div> </br>





<div><br> <b>Pocket-Hole Joinery, Pocket-Screw Joinery, or Kreg Joinery involves drilling a hole at an angle into one work-piece, and then joining it to a second work-piece with a self-tapping screw. </b>The technique, in addition to doweling, has its roots in ancient Egypt. Egyptians clamped two work-pieces together and bored a hole at an angle from the outside work-piece into the second work-piece. They then inserted a dowel with glue, and cut it off flush with the outermost surface.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Pocket-Hole.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>A rabbet (also known as rebate) is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of machinable material, usually wood. When viewed in cross-section, a rabbet is two-sided and open to the edge or end of the surface into which it is cut.</b> The spelling rabbet is probably a derivation of rebate, the latter being more common outside of North America. An example of the use of a rabbet is in a glazing bar where it makes provision for the insertion of the pane of glass and putty. It may also accommodate the edge of the back panel of a cabinet. It is also used in door and casement window jambs.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Rabbitt.jpg"></left>



<div><br> <b>Tongue and groove joint </b>A strong joint, the tongue and groove joint is widely used for re-entrant angles. The effect of wood shrinkage is concealed when the joint is beaded or otherwise moulded. In expensive cabinet work, glued dovetail and multiple tongue and groove are used. Tongue and groove or T&G is a method of fitting similar objects together, edge to edge, used mainly with wood: flooring, parquetry, panelling, and similar constructions. Tongue and groove joints allow two flat pieces to be joined strongly together to make a single flat surface. Before plywood became common, tongue and groove boards were also used for sheathing buildings and to construct concrete formwork.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Dusheme.jpg"></left>
<div><br><b>Solid parquet boards with tongues on the right sides of the boards and grooves on the left sides. Grooves are also visible on the near ends; the far ends are tongued.</div><br/></b>

<div><br> <b>Each piece has a slot (the groove) cut all along one edge, and a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge.</b> The tongue projects a little less than the groove is deep. Two or more pieces thus fit together closely. The joint is not normally glued, as shrinkage would then pull the tongue off. For many uses, tongue and groove boards have been rendered obsolete by the introduction of plywood and later composite wood boards, <b>but the method is still used in good-quality flooring.</b> Plywood may also be tongued all round to fit it flush into a framed structure, and plywood for sub-floors used in platform framing is often supplied with tongue and groove edges.When joining thicker materials, several tongue and groove joints may be used one above the other.</div> </br>


<div><br> <b>A dado (US and Canada), housing (UK) or trench (Europe) is a slot or trench cut into the surface of a piece of machinable material, usually wood.</b> When viewed in cross-section, a dado has three sides. A dado is cut across, or perpendicular to, the grain and is thus differentiated from a groove which is cut with, or parallel to, the grain. A dado may be through, meaning that it passes all the way through the surface and its ends are open, or stopped, meaning that one or both of the ends finish before the dado meets the edge of the surface.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Dougong (simplified Chinese: &#26007;&#25329;; traditional Chinese: &#26007;&#25329;; pinyin: d&#466;ug&#466;ng) is a unique structural element of interlocking wooden brackets, one of the most important elements in traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian and Singaporian architecture.</b> The use of dougong first appeared in buildings of the late centuries BC and evolved into a structural network that joined pillars and columns to the frame of the roof. </div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Dougong was widely used in the ancient Chinese during the Spring and Autumn Period (770"476 BC)</b> and developed into a complex set of interlocking parts by its peak in the Tang and Song periods. The pieces are fit together by joinery alone without glue or fasteners, due to the precision and quality of the carpentry. After the Song Dynasty, brackets and bracket sets became more ornamental than structural when used in palatial structures and important religious buildings, no longer the traditional dougong.</div> </br>

<div><br><b>A stallion is a male horse that has not been castrated, or gelded. </b>Stallions will follow the conformation and phenotype of their breed, but within that standard, the presence of hormones such as testosterone may give stallions a thicker, "cresty" neck as well as a somewhat more muscular physique as compared to female horses, known as mares, and castrated males, called geldings.</div><br/>
<div><br>Temperament varies widely based on genetics, and training, but because of their instincts as herd animals, they may be prone to aggressive behavior, particularly toward other stallions, and thus require careful management by knowledgeable handlers. However, with proper training and management, stallions are effective equine athletes at the highest levels of many disciplines, including horse racing, horse shows, and international Olympic competition.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Horse behavior Contrary to popular myth, the stallion is not the leader of a herd, but defends and protects the herd from predators and other stallions.</b> The leadership role is held by a mare, known colloquially as the "lead mare" or "boss mare." The mare determines the movement of the herd as it travels to obtain food, water, and shelter. She also determines the route the herd takes when fleeing from danger.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>When the herd is in motion, the dominant stallion herds the straggling members closer to the group and acts as a "rear guard" between the herd and a potential source of danger.</b> When the herd is at rest, all members share the responsibility of keeping watch for danger. The stallion usually is on the edge of the group, to defend the herd if needed.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is a 1957 movie starring Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday about the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory.</b> The movie was based on a real event which took place on October 26, 1881. It was directed by John Sturges and featuring a screenplay written by novelist Leon Uris, the movie has an outstanding supporting cast including Rhonda Fleming, John Ireland, Jo Van Fleet, Martin Milner, Dennis Hopper, Jack Elam, Lee Van Cleef, DeForest Kelley, Earl Holliman and Charles Herbert. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The movie was nominated for two Academy Awards in the Sound and Editing categories. The movie was released on May 30, 1957.</b> Sturges also directed a sequel ten years later, Hour of the Gun, with James Garner as Earp and Jason Robards as Holliday. Lancaster and Douglas made several films together over the decades, including I Walk Alone (1948), The Devil's Disciple (1959), Seven Days in May (1964), and Tough Guys (1986), which fixed the notion of the pair as something of a team in the public's imagination. Douglas was always second-billed under Lancaster in these films but, with the exception of I Walk Alone, in which Douglas played a villain, their roles were usually more or less the same size.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Castelnaud is a medieval fortress in the commune of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, overlooking the Dordogne River in Perigord, southern France.</b> It was erected to face its rival, the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac. The oldest documents mentioning it date to the 13th century, when it figured in the Albigensian Crusade; its Cathar castellan was Bernard de Casnac. Simon de Montfort took the castle and installed a garrison; when it was retaken by Bernard, he hanged them all. During the Hundred Years' War, the castellans of Castelnaud owed their allegiance to the Plantagenets, the sieurs de Beynac across the river, to the king of France. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau d'Harcourt, situated in the commune of Harcourt in the Eure dÃƒÂ¢partement of France,</b> is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The cradle of the Harcourt family, the castle is one of the best preserved castles in the country and contains the oldest arboretum in France. 

<div><br><b>Although the lords of Harcourt trace their origins to the year 1000, it is only in the second half of the 12th century that the existence of a castle can be proven from historical texts. </b>Robert II d'Harcourt was a companion in the crusade of Richard Lionheart; the first stone castle was certainly built by him. Harcourts appear later among the most important barons of Normandy. Jean II d'Harcourt, for example, was named Marshal of France (French: marÃƒÂ¢chal de France) and accommodated in his residence king Philip III. In 1338, king Philip VI, sets up the seigniory of Harcourt, with the ChÃƒÂ¢teau d'Harcourt forming its principal town.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Castelnaud is a medieval fortress in the commune of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, overlooking the Dordogne River in Perigord, southern France.</b> It was erected to face its rival, the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac. The oldest documents mentioning it date to the 13th century, when it figured in the Albigensian Crusade; its Cathar castellan was Bernard de Casnac. Simon de Montfort took the castle and installed a garrison; when it was retaken by Bernard, he hanged them all. During the Hundred Years' War, the castellans of Castelnaud owed their allegiance to the Plantagenets, the sieurs de Beynac across the river, to the king of France. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Rooms in the Gamble House were built using multiple kinds of wood; the teak, maple, oak, Port Orford Cedar, and mahogany surfaces are placed in sequences to bring out contrasts of color, tone and grain.</b> Inlay in the custom furniture designed by the architects matches inlay in the tile mantle surrounds, and the interlocking joinery on the main staircase was left exposed. One of the wooden panels in the entry hall is actually a concealed door leading to the kitchen, and another panel opens to a clothes closet. The Greenes used an experienced team of local contractors who had worked together for them in Pasadena on a several previous homes, including the Hall brothers and Marbella brothers who are responsible for the high quality of the woodworking in the house and its furniture.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Petroia is near the istorical city of Gubbio in Umbria, A very important historical date is to be remembered. The 7 June 1422, the very young Elisabetta degli Accomandugi, gave birth to Federico da Montefeltro, who later on became Duke of Urbino.</b> The origins of the Castle of Petroia are to be found between the IXÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â° and XÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â° century, when the free city, such as Gubbio, built fortified constructions and Castles to protect their cities and territories. The Castle of Petroia exists already in the year 1073, as we can see from a document regarding a deed of gift: " mansum in curte Petroij". In 1257 a few feudal subordinates rose against Gubbio and submitted their Castles to Perugia. From the severe walls of Petroia starts one of the most fascinating stories of a man that illuminated the XVÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â° century and the Italian Renaissance.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>The 5Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° of September 1396 the Count Galasso da Montefeltro bought Castle and lands of Petroia. </b>The 14Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° of April 1414 Matteo degli Accomandugi di Urbino purchased Petroia
In 1458 freehold estate were hereditated from Elisabetta, and the feudal titles were given to Ugolino dei Bardi until the 3Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° generation. In 1487 Guidobaldo da Montefeltro gave the castle and it's land to Alessandro Reggeri di Canossa. The property stayed with this family 4 generations (after Alessandro, the son Bonifacio, the grandson Orazio, and the great grandson Camilla). In 1617 Camilla di Canossa, who did not have children, gave it to the Monte di PietÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â  of Reggio Emilia (a charity institution). The 8Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° of May 1629 the Monte di PietÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â  sold to the Ugolini family of Gubbio; the price was 6.200 scudi. From 1823 Castle and land belonged to Benvenduti family of Gubbio.
In 1909 (the Good Friday) the Castle and all of its land were bought by David Sagrini. This family has still the property.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Petroia is near the istorical city of Gubbio in Umbria, A very important historical date is to be remembered. The 7 June 1422, the very young Elisabetta degli Accomandugi, gave birth to Federico da Montefeltro, who later on became Duke of Urbino.</b> The origins of the Castle of Petroia are to be found between the IXÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â° and XÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â° century, when the free city, such as Gubbio, built fortified constructions and Castles to protect their cities and territories. The Castle of Petroia exists already in the year 1073, as we can see from a document regarding a deed of gift: " mansum in curte Petroij". In 1257 a few feudal subordinates rose against Gubbio and submitted their Castles to Perugia. From the severe walls of Petroia starts one of the most fascinating stories of a man that illuminated the XVÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â° century and the Italian Renaissance.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>The 5Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° of September 1396 the Count Galasso da Montefeltro bought Castle and lands of Petroia. </b>The 14Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° of April 1414 Matteo degli Accomandugi di Urbino purchased Petroia
In 1458 freehold estate were hereditated from Elisabetta, and the feudal titles were given to Ugolino dei Bardi until the 3Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° generation. In 1487 Guidobaldo da Montefeltro gave the castle and it's land to Alessandro Reggeri di Canossa. The property stayed with this family 4 generations (after Alessandro, the son Bonifacio, the grandson Orazio, and the great grandson Camilla). In 1617 Camilla di Canossa, who did not have children, gave it to the Monte di PietÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â  of Reggio Emilia (a charity institution). The 8Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° of May 1629 the Monte di PietÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â  sold to the Ugolini family of Gubbio; the price was 6.200 scudi. From 1823 Castle and land belonged to Benvenduti family of Gubbio.
In 1909 (the Good Friday) the Castle and all of its land were bought by David Sagrini. This family has still the property.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Most log beds are built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest.</b> Many of these beds are not structural even though they would lead one to believe they are at first blush. Most makers of natural log beds ask that you put your mattress on a steel frame inside the facade of the log bed. </div>

<div><b>The reason is usually the instability of the lumber.</b> These natural logs will usually continue shrink 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. If the weight of your mattress were also being supported by these semi cured logs it could add additional bowing and warping.<b><div id="red12">This of course makes most of these natural log beds, that appear to be quality furnishings, eventual firewood.</b></div>

<div><br><b>This Lodge Style Furniture Is Built From Solid Cedar Square Beams</b> that have been fully cured by natural desert air drying. All timbers are cured for at least 2 years to less than 6% prior to being tenon joined, pegged and doweled to create a solid structure. This solid structure would be likened to the way a well built wooden train trestle or old 19th century barn would be built. Then all timbers are hand hewn by our master carvers using a draw knife to make the beams appear as pealed logs.  We also hand chiseled to add a bark appearance if a bark look is desired. This method, although labor intensive insures the structure integrity and the bark will never fall off. </div><br/>

<center><div><br><h1>Let's Compare </h1></center></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Most log beds are built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest.</b> Many of these beds are not structural even though they would lead one to believe they are at first blush. Most makers of natural log beds ask that you put your mattress on a steel frame inside the facade of the log bed. </div>

<div><b>The reason is usually the instability of the lumber.</b> These natural logs will usually continue shrink 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. If the weight of your mattress were also being supported by these semi cured logs it could add additional bowing and warping.<b><div id="red12">This of course makes most of these natural log beds, that appear to be quality furnishings, eventual firewood.</b></div>

<center><div><br><h1>Let's Compare </h1></center></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Most log beds are built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest.</b> Many of these beds are not structural even though they would lead one to believe they are at first blush. Most makers of natural log beds ask that you put your mattress on a steel frame inside the facade of the log bed. </div>

<div><b>The reason is usually the instability of the lumber.</b> These natural logs will usually continue shrink 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. If the weight of your mattress were also being supported by these semi cured logs it could add additional bowing and warping.<b><div id="red12">This of course makes most of these natural log beds, that appear to be quality furnishings, eventual firewood.</b></div>

<div><br><b>This Lodge Style Furniture Is Built From Solid Cedar Square Beams</b> that have been fully cured by natural desert air drying. All timbers are cured for at least 2 years to less than 6% prior to being tenon joined, pegged and doweled to create a solid structure. This solid structure would be likened to the way a well built wooden train trestle or old 19th century barn would be built. Then all timbers are hand hewn by our master carvers using a draw knife to make the beams appear as pealed logs.  We also hand chiseled to add a bark appearance if a bark look is desired. This method, although labor intensive insures the structure integrity and the bark will never fall off. </div><br/>

<center><div><br><h1>Let's Compare </h1></center></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Most log beds are built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest.</b> Many of these beds are not structural even though they would lead one to believe they are at first blush. Most makers of natural log beds ask that you put your mattress on a steel frame inside the facade of the log bed. </div>

<div><b>The reason is usually the instability of the lumber.</b> These natural logs will usually continue shrink 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. If the weight of your mattress were also being supported by these semi cured logs it could add additional bowing and warping.<b><div id="red12">This of course makes most of these natural log beds, that appear to be quality furnishings, eventual firewood.</b></div>
