wow!!!!!!!!!! the myrtle is amazing!!! is it hard wood?

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

I just love a trade.
There is just something so fair about it.
Perhaps it is the no change of money or the tax man not getting a cut?
I’m glad to hear that it is not just a Scottish trait. :)

Those grain patterns are amazing.
Always trade for more wood. Can’t make product without raw materials.
