That’s an incredible story! A woodworker finally using wood they stored away in 1999—26 years of patience and anticipation—must have made for an incredibly meaningful project.
Why This is So Special:
Well-Aged Wood: Over two decades of drying and stabilizing means the wood was likely perfectly seasoned, reducing warping and improving workability.
Sentimental Value: Storing wood for that long suggests it was saved for just the right project—maybe something deeply personal or highly skilled.
Nostalgia & Fulfillment: Working with material that’s been waiting since the late '90s probably brought back memories and made the final creation even more rewarding.
Possible Projects:
A fine furniture piece (table, cabinet, or chair)
A musical instrument (guitar, violin) where aged wood improves tone
A sculpture or art piece where the wood’s history adds to its story
Would love to know what they made! Do you have details on the final creation?
