This would be some amazing wood just because of its history to get from the park service:

Boy wouldn't that be cool to get a piece of that wood. Wow.

[Jerry Gerard]

I'm about 2 hours southeast of there . I wonder what they would do with the tree .

[Chris Fierro]

I just saw that on CNN.com. Sure someone will get a very nice hunk o history.

Imaging turning a hunk of that and finding a musket ball? Wow.

Just heard today they are turning the wood into indoor benches for the park. My Uncle had called about getting some of the wood, he said he just wanted a small piece to turn. The park person he spoke with told him, you and half the country would like a piece of that tree, sorry, but no.

A co-worker of mine knows one of the rangers personnally and he asked about getting some of the wood also for a few of us. He said the NPS or "the Board" was going to use it for fund-raising in the future and that the tree was locked away in an "undisclosed location".
