Construction Techniques
In our opinion, the 18th & 19th Century presented the best furniture-making skills. The use of handcrafted techniques such as mortise & tenon joinery and dovetailed drawers along with the great hardwoods result in a piece in which one can be proud. I believe that a handcrafted piece of furniture speaks of its maker and carries with it a bit of his or her soul into the future.
Methods of Construction -
We use modern machinery only where it does not compromise the integrity of the piece. It is this handwork of each piece that separates our workmanship from factory-made furniture. We hand-cut our dovetails, shape the cabriole legs, and do the carvings as they did centuries ago. We us mortise and tenon joinery to create joints which will last many lifetimes. We perform much of the work on each piece by hand because we feel that it is the handwork above all else that adds character to our quality reproduction furniture.
 
Materials -
The materials are important in helping the craftsman create a piece of furniture that has character. We carefully select the wood used in each piece of furniture we craft. We focus on the highest quality figured hardwoods as primary lumber and poplar or pine as the secondary wood. Great lengths are taken to find wide boards with grain patterns that will blend and match when joined together. Reproduction brasses and forged iron hardware are further used to compliment highly figured woods.
 
Finish -
We scrape and sand the surfaces of each reproduction, and use shellac, lacquer, or a hand rubbed oil/varnish finish. Each method of finish requires its own calculated set of steps to accomplish the desired appearance for our reproduction furniture. It is only after this desired effect is achieved that we would proudly sign, by hand, each piece so that you and your generations to come may enjoy our work in your homes.

I've read about link exchanges a lot recently. I've seen a lot of people who say that their predictions that link exchange would stop working saying that they were right, and that they don't work, and that they in fact hurt your website. Let's stop right there. Proclaiming the death of link exchanges is still a little premature.
