- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)his work to such an excellent finish.The Coach-smith - a most wonderful craft. How he formed out his work and as perfect in design. People would wonder how it was done by the hands of man in years to come.The Trimmers - another wonderful craft. The finish most beautiful and perfect. Carriages were trimmed in Morroca leather and beautiful cloth - different colours according to customer's tastes.The cloth and leather came from England also the different widths of lace to finish. There was an amount of native timber used in the manufacture of those carriages namely ash, oak and elm. Any foreign timber such as mahogany, birch, lancewood and hickory came from England but did not grow there.When Mr. Boyne died, his son carried on the coach-making for about fifty years, and gave a lot of employment. The motor took the place of the carriage, and trade declined, and more is the pity. Coach-making was a wonderful craft. I must say there are very few practical Coach-builders now-a-days.In conclusion it is wonderful how The Lord endowed those men with such talents and brains
