Question for day 9.....
Question: The great majority of the wood that we turn into pens and pencils is a few tens of years old or at most 100-300 years old if a historical piece is available. There are two woods that are orders of magnitude older and, coincidentally, come from two islands situated halfway around the world from each other which are/were part of the UK at one time or another. What are the two woods? (Common names will be fine.)
<s>Email your answer to: 2008bashtrivia@penturners.org</s>
This question is now closed.
Please see the new contest for day 10.
Good luck!!
Note: "Laundry list" entries that include several possible alternative answers are "NOT" acceptable. Submit only one answer per question or question part(if there is a multi-part question) unless the question specifically asks for multiple answers. Thanks.
