Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! As a woodworker, this brings tears to my eyes. 47 years ago I built a 4 poster bed from salvaged oak from a house built in the 1870’s. The floor joists and frame were made of rough sawn oak. Uneven thickness etc. I figured the wood could have been 200 years old when it was cut for the house because of the size of the boards. So my bed is made from what could be 350 year old wood. My. Daughter wants to inherit this bed. It has been oak solid! Love this story!
Awesome story, I have about 20 guitars I’ve bought over the decades and trade them all for one of those Stratocaster style 600 year old oak wood body guitars.
