Heard this on the news coming home today, thought I'd try and find a link to the information.  They're doing carbon dating on it, and some specialists believe it could be between 6,000 and 30,000 years old.  The wood apparently is chocolate colored, and the lucky lumber mill is hoping it's old as the hills.  Kinda cool!
