[Cynnabar] meeting minutes for 5/10/10

Tue May 11 23:42:18 EDT 2010

A few corrections to the Throne topic...

His Excellency Gregoire offered us some thoughts on how the current thrones
might be modified temporarily, in case viable options for replacements are
not found.

We have also been in contact with a couple different out of Barony
woodworkers. One in particular Baron Conal O'hAirt who lives in the Barony
of the Flame makes a nice foldable version of the Glastonbury chairs, which
could be made to include the painted escutcheons from the current thrones.
He does not have current wood costs, but estimated around $200 - $300 per
chair in Red Oak.

Baron Conal does not do carving, but Sir RanthulfR offered to try to contact
some people he knows who do chip carving to see what  it may cost to add
that to the chairs.

We do remain interested in hearing any thoughts that people have on this
topic as we would like to involve as many people in the Barony as possible.

Thank you,

Tairdelbach
