early birdseye maple furniture, need information

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I'm trying to find information about birdseye maple furniture. I'm unable to date my pieces, I do know the pieces were not machined. There's a decorative laurel wreath on the pieces and they all have skelton key locks. I have searched the web, my local library and cannot find any history on birdseye furniture other than it's rare. I know John Needles is attributed with some birdseye pieces, but I can't find anything on him either. Can someone direct me
