Wood Bull
The field at Wood Bull was the site of the 49th annual Cooperstown Antiques Show on July 3.
For Kip, deciding how to ar-
range all the antiques in the barn is a work of art in itself. He is
constantly moving, straightening and adjusting his things. “It’s like a chess game,” he said.

Owners Kip and Judith Coburn in the barn at Wood Bull Antiques just outside of Milford with their animals, Bowson the dog and Miss Kitty, their tomcat. Judith was a photography and art history teacher at a high school in New York City, and Kip was a painter and sculptor. Kip said of his things, “It’s fun to just buy a ‘whatsit’ and think it could be an African tent pole or Morrocan walking stick.” He remembers where he purchased most of the items in the barn and loves to tell stories to go along with each piece.

The property surrounding the barn at Wood Bull is filled with statues, sculptures, pottery and ornaments. This happy Buddha is one example of the hundreds of cherubs, busts and figurines that adorn the yard.
