2010 was a challange for Mr. Horner. After enduring medical challenges that would cause some builders to close shop, it appears to have increase Charles' motivation to build and even renovate the shop making it more comfortable and convenient.
I paid a visit to photograph some recent and in progress builds for the web site I manage for him. He had just sold his last F5 the day before to a customer from Knoxville.
Also note Mr. Horner's long time friend and source for Cumberland Plateau maple, Danny Fucral.
Most of the red spruce used in production presently is sourced from the inventory of the late Ted Davis of Loudon, Tennessee. Mr. Davis and John Arnold were partners in making red spruce again available beginning in the mid 1980's from the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and trees from West Virginia.
Remember to double click the photos if you need a close up.
