Actually, that's the guy that has brought those fancy wooden scopes to Stellafane over the years. His craft has evolved from those scopes and the mirrors in them to his now-ability to produce mirrors up to 5' in diameter. He gave a talk at the Hartness House a few years back. His proprietary process for making large mirrors is very interesting. I'm sure you guys will recognize some of scopes on this page; https://www.optiquesfullum.com/photo-gallery/

Did you check out the size of those secondary mirrors? Suddenly, I feel like my scopes are all department store variety.
