Hey there everyone. I'm wiggie's sis. I was trying to think of an alias but big bro seemed to think Brenda worked just fine! Thanks for the warm welcome! Since it's the weekend, I'll give you a little background and tell you a little about why I'm so interested in HIMR.
But before I do, I'd like to sincerely thank all of you for all of the research you've done and your willingness to share it out here on this board. I was cruising the net looking for info on HIMR and underwater forestry recovery in general. I ran across this board and have been reading it ever since. You're the best! I really appreciate all the info and the openness on your speculations. I like your logic.
So here's the history I promised - Way back sometime in the '70s I read an article about how a shipwreck diver was going to recover sunken logs from the floor of Chequamegon Bay in Lake Superior. Logging was a huge industry back in the day and many of the logs sunk in the bay on their way to the mills. This is old growth timber so really nice wood. For whatever reason, I was really intrigued by this notion and now and then wondered if the guy ever made a go of it.
Years passed and one day I ran across an ad for furniture from a line called "Echoes of Chequamegon Bay". I checked it out and sure enough, it was furniture made of wood recovered by diver Scott Mitchen.
While I was even more intrigued, I didn't realize how much wood was there and how valuable it really was. Every now and then I thought about it but didn't investigate further.
Then a few months or so ago big bro wiggie tells me about this stock he found and he started talking about Tigerlynk and underwater wood recovery, etc. My ears perked right up. And the rest is history.
Tonight while all of you were inviting me to join, I was actually researching Scott Mitchen and his Superior Water-Logged Lumber co. which apparently became Timeless Timber company, and seems to now be defunct. They were located on the shores of Chequamegon Bay in Ashland WI.
So I guess the bad news is the business doesn't seem to have lasted. But the good news is that the wood they did recover seems to have had a large demand. It got turned into not only furniture, but also such things as veneer and paneling, musical instruments, and even a guitar for Johnny Cash.
From what I could find, the wood was recovered by divers.
Anyhow. I really believe in what HIMR is doing. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this wood is valuable and will be in large demand. And the technology sounds fantastic. So I'm with all of you, waiting for pics and news of the first logs recovered and on land.
I don't remember which of you posted about celebrating on the beaches of Panama, but count me in!
