I may or may not have mentioned that I work at our athletic club -- the South End Rowing Club in San Francisco, since 1873 -- repairing our fleet of antique wooden boats.
We jealously protect some of the lumber in these boats -- our 6-seat sweep-rigged racing barge has a "foot board" which is nearly 40 feet long, 18" wide and absolutely clear Alaska Cedar. You just can't get wood like that anymore.
Greg, I certainly understand the butt-clenching moment ripping that kind of lumber knowing you'll never have a piece like that again.
