Howdy,

Does anyone know of a source for gopher wood? The water is rising fast here on the Brazos...

Have fun,

Hope you keep your feet dry.

Thanks. It goes down one day and up the next. Crazy weather. ~mike c

We might be able to find some if we really knew what it was. In the mean time anything that floats should work.

Gopher wood was used to build Noah's ark. No telling what it really is...

"Son, go-fer wood"

'Something' tells me the species did not make it through the multiple translation efforts through the ages.

There in lies part of the problem. The word in Hebrew is only found once in the Bible and apparently it does not appear anywhere else in the Hebrew language. The early English translations of the Bible didn't even translate the word because there is no clue anywhere to what it means.

That was my point.
