Yesterday, Dr. SWMBO discovered a heavy box in the front of the house left by DHL. (Apparently, they have drivers who can't read signs that say, "All deliveries in the back" since we don't use that door...)
Turns out it was a nice hunk of wood from "some outfit" called Wood N Heart run by Dave Smith. No explanation in the box, so I emailed him. He was "only authorized to say that it is Golden or Honey Locust Burl"...
So...to whomever is the "culprit", THANKS! The burl looks wonderful!
