[Jackie Blombach]

I suggest contacting the North Bennet Street School.  Most of their Preservation Carpentry graduates can do this job.

>          I am on the hunt for a resource to replace an antique  post and board fence. The posts are turned and the top is a  large ,rounded top similar to Dairy Queen cones, not acorns.  Recently vandals destroyed a fence such as this.
> The original was made of locust which  was prevalent on the Cape at one time.  The posts are the problem as apparently they must be hand turned and mahogany is suggested as wood of choice.  The  bid is  without installation and painting and   amounts to $15,000 for 12 posts and two rails. extravagant ?
