I have only been a member for a couple of months and am still feeling my way around
and learning so much from the forum. There are amazing woodworkers on here and it
is inspiring.
I thought y'all would enjoy this ESPN story "From Tree to Tipoff" chronicling the making
of a basketball court - from harvesting the 500 Maple trees to milling the lumber to laying the floor.

From deep in a Michigan forest to University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona, the floor at this weekend's Men's Final Four has completed a cross-country journey, lasting nearly five months.
