What caught my attention while visiting with the CEO is the fact that they will get this major publicity from some big time magazines in Feb. and this will raise investors awareness of their Company. (whats that worth?) The untold story is ,They have also bought up 100's of miles of leases in the Amazon(thats the Amazon! not Amazon.com) where there are some very sought after hardwoods. There are some interesting implications with this type of logging, very old wood, some in great condition other pc's sank because of rot and other types of wood ailments. Also the DNR ( in the U.S.) has a say in whats being harvested because these areas have become "friendly environments" to many types of fishes and they are being used as spawning beds(I think- I'm on thin ice here.) So only certain areas can be brought up to the surface at certain times of the year as not to disturb the eco-system. This company is small enough as not to be listed for sale in MN , so even if I was interested I can't own it in MN. I have never come across this before but I guess this is the plight of a fledgling company with limited resources. As for their financial status I don't have a clue, their pink sheets will be out in 30 to 45 days. There is a spread between the buy and sell that amounts to 15%, so speculation has some inherent risks and Please note, that I am not your financial advisor! However it intrigues me(I hate to stand on the side lines) and I will watch and see what happens to this company in the future. Harvested by the ton and sold by the ounce! Capitalism at its finest! Besides-Nationals really don't have that much wood in them anyway. latcho drom billk IP: Logged

(Having watched a recent documentary on the History Channel)....Paleo-oceanographer Burkle has noted that a mini ice age, which was occurring during the Strat period produced woods that were uniquely "dense" produced by minimal sunlight during this period! The width of rings attributed to the climate "slow dense growth" (Maunder Minimum-ice age). This could be a "eureka moment" in the long quest to understand those Strat-violins. To date, I find this the most compelling answer to this long asked question. I also salute I.G.S. for starting year number 7?, great topics on a variety of subjects related to music, guitar and other curiousities. bill keitel unvarnished music festival [This message has been edited by bill keitel (edited 01-09-2006).] IP: Logged
