THE FURNITURE THAT Nick Mancuso makes is the amazing stuff cherished by royalty and museums. When Mancuso invites you into his parents' modest ranch home in Millers, he'll offer you a seat- on his Chippendale chair. Chippendale was the furniture maker in vogue on both sides of the Atlantic at the time of the American Revolution. Mancuso, 21, carved the chair a year ago while at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. The lion's claw feet, signature webbed medallion back, and softly scrolled top rail were researched and drawn full size before he carved into the mahogany with gouges and knives, in the technique of Chippendale.

Traveling with government-issued 48-hour safe-conduct passes shielding them from arrest and, in the case of one of the three, extradition to the United States on drug charges, they flew to Bogota on a military plane and were escorted to the ornate Capitol by state security forces.
