   The cape was pleasant as was Jon and Joanne Pages hospitality. Daughter is 
now graduated from Clark in Worcester Mass. Drivers, maps and roads way worse 
than ours in Calif.
    Ronsen hammers seem to me to be as close to the original densitys and 
weights as the old stlye under discussion. I'm not convinced for a moment 
that no stiffening soutions were used on some of those sets but that being 
said I also do not believe they needed stiff doses of anything and neither do 
the Ronsens.
 As to care in the belly process they perhaps had more seasoned wood and 
generations of seasoned bellymen that probably had more cumulative 
experience.
  I've heard really good bellys from the late 60's and early 70's. I have  
wondered about those guys and where they are now.
   Best
