I love it! I wish for many reasons that Memphis did not have to be cancelled, but one very high on the list was a chance to meet the McKnight team!
I know sometimes when I am throwing wood into the stove I will see a nice spalted piece and wish I had the chance to do something more with it than burn it. In fact, the kid helping me cut firewood this season got a little lesson in spalted wood from me whether he knew he needed it or not hahaha.
