Shinola does exist! About 10 years back a bunch of us bought 40 acre parcels in the middle of nowhere...kind of built a town.

We chased out the local "Freelance Pharmacists" and it's for the most-part fun.

I just finished the grave yard earlier this summer. The concrete tombstones have re-bar holding them in place...I could only dig down about 6 inches before I hit shale, and the rebar is longer...so it looks like they are levitating.

I digress.

I will be going to Oregon in the next few days to collect some Victorian Furniture, and shall bring back the said madrone for both of you. Most is cut in pieces 16-24 inches in length. Any preference to diameter? (Baseball Bat sized? Coffee Can sized?) Let me know how much you both would like and I'll throw it in.

Anybody else??

I should have some Manzanita by November. It's not going anywhere, but I won't be going back up for awhile.
