And Boys In the Boat--probably my all-time favorite book!

Pick on and enjoy...
Thank you Nemoman! I am sure you are reveling in your BEAUTIFUL new graybeard. I really love what John does with WRC.
Pretty sure he could make a killer instrument out of an old pallet and some 2x4s, like the famous Taylors, a couple of which I have played. (but John's would sound even better!)
The Boys in the Boat was a fine read and very moving story.

Bruce S, I love your story about harvesting the beached WRC! I would Really enjoy hearing what you could build with that salt water cured WRC wood at this point in your long and illustrious career.

Cheers

Paul
