opening the time capsual

I am going to open my time capsule, it is a room where I have collected and stored all my gorgeous woods. Some pieces have been in there for 10 years, some came with me from my last workshop and are now approaching 16 years. .It is mainly Elm, lots of burrs.
These are the timbers that I have not been able to let go but now I want to reveal them, machine them and see the colour and character.
The next thing is to make some furniture with it! I will track the revealing, design and making here, just need to be taught how to put pictures on here.
All the guys at the workshop will be chuffed that this is happening as they will get practical and much needed storage, plus they are all dying to see the woods as well.
Going into the room is, I imagine like going into an old wine cellar. ........... Very therapeutic.
