A wood package is nothing to look down at. It should be admired for it's beauty.
An acceptable offer for it would to offer the owner a glass of wine (or beer) over dinner. If the small talk goes well, the wood member exchange can occur at the location of the owner's choice.
If anyone would like, I have a PDF of my hand written notes that I had used to pass the PE: Structural I exam on my first try. I would be willing to email it to you for $100.
PM me if you are intrested.
