A grotesque monument to kitsch. There are 208 woodworkers turning in their graves.

Chris,

Priceless. My parents live in and operate a motel in Shelby, MT. I would not doubt that one of the saws bears the name of their motel, The Sherlock (an amalgamation of the names of my grandfather and grandmother), which is not a bad place to stay in Shelby, although there is no Four Seasons in Shelby. I am going to have to ask them about it.

This kind of reminds me of this place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capuchin_Crypt
Not quite the same, obviously, but honestly, it’s the first thing I thought of. Does this bespeak an undue fondness for saws?

I remember about 25 years ago, when I began to seriously collect antique tools, that one dealer was holding out for a higher price for decorators. Seems that interior decorators were paying top dollar for anything that looked old that they could drill a hole in and hang on a wall. Over the years, I have grieved over tools that had holes drilled in them, ugly paint jobs, or lousy with varnish. I hope these folks in Montana were using cheap saws from the Dollar Store.

And after some creative clicking, got the BIG versions:

Some of the pictures are pretty blurry, but no panthers seem to have died during the creation of this art.
