"In accurately dating a historic house or timber frame, examining a piece of furniture long considered a forgery, or cementing the lineage of a multimillion-dollar violin, this science offers fascinating insights into the study of wooden artifacts, as well as deep contemplations of the living historical record embodied in the growth of a tree." [Excerpt from Mortise and Tenon Magazine, Issue 9 – “The Scribes of Nature: Dendrochronology & the Deeper Story of Wooden Objects” – Michael Updegraff]
