It truly is unfortunate for up and coming box builders that emulate the historical "leaders" of Cajun culture and box building.
It is regressive, oppressive and smacks of pure and simply bias.. ethic bias.
It is im my opinion a detriment to excellence.
A detriment ot box players who could get something
built to a higher standard.. but won't because the box is not built by a "Cajun"
What can't a Cajun get out of the substandard rut and elevate the craft... why because he/she might get ostracized by the kulture keepers. That is the unfortunate truth.
