Great stuff. While there I noticed one piece with very fine grain on one side and as the grain went across the board it became wider. Asked why that was and they told me that we are putting so much CO2 into the atmosphere that trees are growing faster. Learn something every day.

Besides the additional CO2, I'd bet the minor increase in temperature (and maybe the length of the growing season) is also affecting growth?
