There should be some really unique wood available if the forest is of any size. The tight grains and unique woods make for some great guitars, knife handles, furniture, and specialty items. I'd like to have knife handles that are thousands of years old to go with the ones that are made from Woolly Mammoths.

All the Global warming crap aside, this is a fascinating story and I would agree the wood could be extraordinary if preserved.

NEW 32,000 YEAR OLD BASS

The NS-30K BC utilized what is believed to be the oldest wood ever used in the construction of a musical instrument.

Obtained by Spector from logs discovered buried 40 feet deep in a sand quarry in Georgia, USA,the wood is perfectly preserved, due to the sterile nature of the sand and the natural decay resistance of the cypress wood itself.

Using carbon 14 testing techniques, samples of the wood were examined by Beta Analytics, in Miami, to check for radioactive decay in the small amount of carbon that is present in all living organisms. This wood was dated as 31,970 years old, plus or minus 570 years.

How about some totem poles, made from ancient trees? Great for Juneau and Klowack parks.
