This place that is havesting old growth logs from the bottom of the Great Lakes. These trees are so old, they were suppose to be saplings when the Viking, Leif Ericson discovered the Americas (before Columbus).The old growth averages @ 40 growth rings/inch as opposed to 7 per/inch in new growth. That should stiffen up the Maggie panels.
