Thanks.

I have some 7,000 year old wood from a cypress forest off the coast of West Florida (locally know as LA, lower Alabama).

Ten years ago, I appealingly packaged some with documentation and gave it to my family members for Christmas.

Now, I'd like to get some of this older wood.

A friend was developing a subdivision about 3 miles away from me.
They were running a D-8 dozer with a shearing blade to knock down regular vegetation/trees and as they dug in deeper, began hitting giant cypress tree stumps with a diameter of 12 to 15 feet.
Pretty sizable, have one on some property I own and it's about 9 ft. in dia. and it's a big'en.
Said they appeared to have been cut, but nobody knows or has records of when this was originally logged.

And I never quite got around to thanking you properly.

I’ll forever remember that long burning fire and how that log sparkled and popped. It smelled like a primeval forest.

Can’t wait for this Christmas’ gift from blam.
