Sorry, but I just cannot resist sending out this missive.  A while 
back I asked if anyone wanted African Blackwood (AB) gear shift 
knobs.  Well it has all been done now and we have a lot of nice knobs 
around.....okay, okay sit down, the joke has worn thin!   Anyway, the 
AB log I bought when made up was two short so I went looking for more 
AB - none at right price or size.  BUT what I did find is wood that 
is certified to be between 30,000 and 50,000 YEARS OLD !!!!!   So I 
got enough for two.  So I, and a certain Rick, have gear shift knobs 
that have been carbon dated to 46,500 YEARS OLD.

Now how about that?  I can now boast at car meets that my body is 36 
years old but my knob is 46,500 years old.

If anyone wants a photo give me a buzz.

Regards
Barrie
