BT,
My neice's husband is a partner in this business that doesn't have any Yukon wood but turns out some very unique furniture:

The first of the tables is getting its final coats of oil today.  I will try to post some pictures here soon.  Mike

I was doing some research trying to track down the history of the train depot building and I found these posts.  The bad news is that last year it's owner had it demolished as it had fallen into irrecoverable disrepair.  My friend and I were, however, made aware of what was going on and the age of the structure before it was dismantled so we coordinated with the demolition team and harvested the structural members that the building was built on.  For what it's worth in my opinion the building itself had long lost most of its charm and history during it's multiple "upgrades" over the years.  However, the backbone of the structure was made of virgin forest heart pine and we are currently building custom conference and dining tables with the material right here in Jacksonville.  Don't any of you worry though as the history of the station will roll on with these re-purposed jewels because each table will be permanantly marked so that they can always be traced to the Yukon Train Depot.  Further, I will see to it that every new owner be provided with directions to find this and other posts like it where they can read about the history behind these heirloom pieces.

I guess I got my answer! If it could have been saved, the building could have been part of a museum! I wonder if they at least got some pictures of this building before it was demolished! Were there any blueprints left from this building?
