Article in Craftmaster New - August 2004

Fence Post
"... the original camelback trunks were made in the Kansas City and St. Louis area. They were sold to the greenhorns crossing the plains. The trunks were topped with canvas or leather to shed water... each piece (of wood) is ripped, milled, and planed before being steamed overnight. Then the pieces that are twisted and bent to make the hump of the trunk are placed in a jig..."

North Forty
"... Every manufacturer did something just a little bit differently. American trunks were covered with leather canvas and then shellac to make them waterproof ... " I'm trying to create my own heirlooms," he says. " Mine should last over 200 years the way they're built."

The Coloradoan News Paper
"... Hamilton "Hank" Ragan sees things as they are, and wants to make them better. Ragan has the calculating eye of an inventor.
