I guess we'll have to wait and see if the industry is revolutionalized by 
non-cryogenically freezing old soundboards. If it isn't, freezing may 
indeed work just as well on wood as it does on strings.

Meanwhile, I can't wait to read the article on boiled boards when it gets 
written, assuming there's an identifiable board left after boiling. Again, 
if not, I suspect he has other ideas waiting in the wings.
