Mark Baldwin, Surry Maine 
 
My kids say I keep piles of wood that “is too good to use for anything, ever.” Not true: here is an old hunk of wood that’s moving from my place to yours.

In 1967 the late Willy and I were switch-backing down a West Virginia mountain on our way to Washington DC. We had almost reached flatland when we came on a pile of walnut logs cleared by a road crew. To Willy and me walnut was a prince of woods but in those days it was common enough in West Virginia to be used for fence posts. A short way back we passed the crew chipping such a pile. We whipped around, asked the road crew if we could take some of the logs, and then dashed to a U-Haul garage we’d seen on the west side of the mountain. Next morning we took the logs to a sawmill on Maryland’s Patuxent River, and a few years later schlepped the best pieces on our move to Maine. I think this little sweetie is the very last bit of it. That’s all: just a little piece of wood shaped, smoothed, and a hole drilled in it, waiting for some fanciful arrangement.
