That was a great and quick listen on wood aging. You find some really good info out there and I appreciate you sharing it with us.

I’m happy Oregon Oak got a mention in the piece. I got a bit of shit from some folks when I bought 100 board feet of 1” QS Oregon Oak, so a little validation of its commercial use is nice to hear.
