Thanks!  Unlike some of my other pictures, I'm actually trying not to 
clutter this, but to simply add more detail.  In fact, the whole notion of 
"clutter" is apparently something that was essentially a sin (for them).

No, I haven't.  But that idea appeals to me much more today than it would 
have a few months ago.  When I made the "Radio Graves" picture, I researched 
antique radios and gathered an appreciation for them, and it's a similar 
appreciation in this case.  Again, it's the wood textures that intrigue me 
the most, I suppose.  But with the Shaker items, my intrigue is undoubtedly 
coupled with the simple designs, which can allow me to concentrate more on 
the textures and other details.
