While I agree whole-heartedly that this is an excellent idea, it doesn't work for exotic woods. I sincerely doubt that rosewood, teak, or pink ivory can be grown successfully in most of countries on the net. Therefore, I am still interested in finding out how responsible other countries are about raping their own forests. (Or perhaps we would be doing those countries a favor by removing all their trees; then the nasty Marxist revolutionary guerillas would have fewer places to hide. :-) -- Jon Mauney, mcnc!ncsu!mauney North Carolina State University
