The smaller pieces are boiled and dried, the largest are
Cutted some years ago and just airdried !
They have some differences in taste.

I was guessing for the other Todd, but you're right, amazing wood!

PS:your website doesn't work on iphones (and other smarphones) due to the flash player requirement... might be missing out on customers!

Yea, I know. I keep hoping they will figure out how to make flash work on mobile devices...

They won't. Ever. There's HTML5 which can do all of the same and more, which does work on mobile devices :-)

Ever since I've started working in IT (nearly 8 years now) website building rule no. 1 has been: DO NOT use Flash! :lol:

Yeah. They just recently discovered another big security breach that's possible only with Flash. But Apple decided from the beginning they wouldn't ever allow flash to work on mobile devices because of the inferior performance and security risks. Steve Jobs actually wrote an open letter to Adobe about it.
