What, and screw up a good thing? The alleged folks selling the alleged beams from the alleged churches are quite thrilled to take the money of the alleged folks buying these alleged beams, and the alleged buyers get an appropriately expensive warm and fuzzy belief to take home in their 50' trailers. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me. By the way, who are all these violin builders using old church beams in their products? I don't recall seeing this advertised anywhere, and that's surely something worthy of pumping up the marketing volume on if any of them have produced anything sounding anything like a violin. Ron N
