Speaking of dogwood........a guy I know was clearing for a pond. He happened across a few old dogwoods that were huge compared to any he had seen. He bucked them into sections to mill with plans to build a piece of furniture from the wood.
He had a feller there helping with the job and while Doug was gone for beer Jessie threw the dogwood in the fire, knowing nothing of Doug's plans for the wood. When Doug returned he had a damn come apart.......he was pissed that Jes had burned the dogwood. He said "damn it Jessie I was gonna build something from that, you never see dogwood that big!!!!" Jessie calmly replied "it says in the Bible that it will not be used for building, evidently God was watchin"
