RANDOM EBAY POST-per lysne!
on my daily check of primative wood object on ebay, i found a PER Lysne listing. o course a later one by him in excellent condition and oh boy, i can see why his stuff is desired. and boy, those leaves look awfully similar to the tray i had. this one looks later. obviously done when he was known and was making more for them. this tray made over $700.

RANDOM OBSERVATION BORDERING ON MINI RANT
i sold a collectable item to australia, and due to payment options and such, we started 'chatting'. husband works for a winery in south australia state. ooh, another aussie state! and i have a bottle of banrock in the fridge!
well, i think i asked if the had sweet corn down there, and she told me she had to pay $9 for broccoli. the exchange rate is similar to canada i would say. so, amerika should be kissing them mexican illegals who are keeping inflation down. because if farmers had to pay americans, this bush 'boom' would look a WHOLE lot like the fucking great depression!
don't get me started about maintenance and such.
