Danner manufacturing company primarily worked with Ash, Cherry, Oak, & Walnut but he was always open to custom orders whether it be additional carvings, odd size requests, or special lumbers being used. The extra carving work would have only been an extra dollar or two but it was a considerable amount as the average workers daily salary was just over a dollar.
