I was going to a tradeshow today, but baby said I have to stay away from standing up all day, so here I am!
 
We haven't cut the whole board up - only the end we took your bookmatches from, Jeff. There's still enough for a few more bookmatches, but we resist cutting it until we're ready to use because it's such expensive stuff.  
 
I've never put it in the Wood Bank because it's simply too difficult to photograph even when finished. In the raw state, it looks pretty boring in a photo until it's bookmatched and sanded. Even then, you can't really see how nice it looks.

Our supply was completely gone, then we were lucky enough to get the last piece from the private collection of one of the gentlemen that harvested the tree. Probably enough for 3 or 4 more builds.

This is quite interesting. Are these kinds of shows organized anywhere these days?

HOLY C*@p!  I started reading without looking to see how old this thread was!  That would indeed be a miracle baby! :D ;D
