We're just getting started with organizing the group build, and I don't know who all is going to be participating, much less whether they will decide to do line-and-berry decorations. I'll try to keep y'all posted on this forum as things progress. The articles that were passed out to interested parties at the last meeting all had line-and-berry doors, and there is lots of expertise on the art form in this area. However, there's always the possibility that someone will have a stunning piece of walnut burl and will decide to use it for their door panel as well as their drawer fronts.

I've already ordered the Chester County book by Margaret Schiffer. Thanks again for the recommendation. Searching the SAPFM archives, I find that Jeff Saylor and Steve Latta recommend books and dissertations on Line and Berry by Lee Ellen Griffith.

Jeff gave a demonstration of Line and Berry (and the specialty tools he built that are required to make it) at the SAPFM booth at the Lie-Nielsen event at Hearne Hardwoods last fall. (Lie-Nielsen also builds a set of very elegant tools to this purpose.) Chuck Bender of Acanthus Workshops is also active in our chapter, and is adept at this style. The book by Griffith is not currently available on Amazon, ABEBooks, or Google Books. The link below is to the copy of her dissertation in the Penn library.

Is the Chester County Museum to which you refer the Chester County Historical Society Museum in West Chester? I only ask because I figure there is an outside chance you might be referring to another other museum in West Chester, but only if your interests are akin to those of Adam when he's wearing something other than his poofy shirt and not chopping mortises (without a mallet).
