WAGON RESTORATIONS

A good friend of ours, Don Bloom, is an individual who enjoys finding deteriorated old time wagons or parts of them and reconstructing them into wonderful masterpieces. He called me and said he was going to clean them up and sell them and, knowing I love to shoot pictures, invited me over to take some pictures. What you see here is an exquisite doctor's wagon, which include the doctor's case behind the seat. With it is a marvelous covered wagon with folding steps in the back and oak used in construction of the body. Other items include the old water barrel on the side.

In my opinion, he ought to be able to find buyers who will pay what they are worth. He has spent so much time on them restoring them to new condition that they are definitely worth a high price.

Beautiful work. It is getting harder and harder to find craftsmen that can create this kind of work.
The old skills of making something by hand is a dying art. Well done with your photo. V

What a beautiful restoration. This individual is talented and apparently energetic. I love these antiques of a bygone era. Our ancestors were rugged, hard working pioneers who adapted to their situation no matter what it took. We could learn a lot from them if they were with us today. As a child I loved listening to the stories of elderly ones about their past experiences when people were different than today. Of course those days had their own set of serious problems and issues. According to Revelation 21:3 & 4 a time of peace is near.
