Just wanted to thank Kathy again for the great wood she gave me last week. I was in Arizona for Christmas and I asked Kathy if she had any leads on local wood. She ended up giving me a nice piece of Mesquite and another piece of African Sumac. I had wished we had more time to chat but at the time it was raining and my kids were antsy.
On a side note: I was originally going to mail the pieces home to Minnesota but I decided to put them in my bag with my golf clubs. When I checked in at the airport, my bag was 9 lbs over the limit so I ended up swapping some magazines from my backpack for the hunk of Mesquite. This brought my golf bag under the limit but meant I had to carry the Mesquite through security. Fortunately the TSA:confused: did not hassle me too much about carrying a 15lb hunk of wood through the airport!
Thanks again, Kathy!
