>Well he's got a 40+ mile drive to work, just built a huge shop, and he's trying to start a business. I guess you have to make cuts somewhere, obviously not in the furniture area.

As it should be, but...

>His site is probably going to draw the most exposure to him. It's imperative that it is looking and functioning right. His business depends on it.

I'm not knocking him, but the site needs to be improved for maxium draw...

>I'm sure his website will improve with time. In NH there is a market for Dunlop furniture, whether modern built or by one of the original family members. This guy's G-G-G-G-G-great Uncle Major John Dunlop is well known for his work and some of it is in the permanent collections at Winterthur, the NH Historical Society, Boston's MFA, the Met, and the Currier. The antiques are eminently collectible stuff if you have a few hundred thousand extra bucks to part with. For further info on the family google, and you will come up with two books on this style of furniture, the names of which escape me now.

>Coincidentally, a Dunlap chest-on-chest was featured on last night's Antiques Road Show. Beautiful tiger maple piece appraised at 50 to 80 thousand USD. The appraiser mentioned the long family line of cabinet makers.
