Humpday Triviola

A group of folks wish to honor the soul of the rare wood that their livelihoods depend on. They are searching for the perfect specimen to make the world's largest of something. That something, when completed will tour the world to promote the soul of that wood, but also to promote peace.

What is the wood and what is the something they intend to make?

I think that you are just trying to drum up traffic to this page ;-)

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Can't Stump Dan! Answer *LINK*

The Pacific Rim Peace Drum is going to be the largest wooden drum ever made. Folks at a New Zealand company called Ancient Kauri Kingdom plan on making the drum from 45,000 year old NZ Ancient Kauri wood.

Well done Mr. D!
