Ford restoration

[BettyO]

Wow.....seems there is a lot of "wood" floating around!

Suffice it to say that a year or so ago when I assisted with the reconstruction of the trial room at McNair, I was given actual wood and nails that was left over from the reconstructed prisoner's dock and witness stand. This reconstruction was constructed out of original wood from the flooring and beams in the room when it was remodeled..... I was also told that some of the wood came from a "warehouse which had originally burned" - supposedly the warehouse where the conspirators were later buried! They had been re-interred when the building burned however. Some of the wood has burn marks on it and I personally have a 2 foot section on one of my bookcases which is pretty well charred (the wood section NOT the bookcase!)

So to those who received a piece of my "garage" stockpile - I will be getting a "provenance" from the Powers that Be at McNair! I kept a list of all the recipients and they too will be getting a copy of authentication.
