I can't add more than what's already been said, but congrats on a very prestigious honor, and hats off to the gentleman who arranged it for you.
Provenance. That is great advice.
There is enough for me to make a bowl for the man who gave it to me, and one is going to the curator at the WH, but the rest is going for gifts to family members, daughters and such who were there. This tree was saved from the chipper - some of it was anyway, and I intend to do my best with it, but selling it for profit off of the White House name isn't in it.

Thanks for the replies everyone, and some of the thoughts that have been expressed here have already run through my mind. I suppose there is a way to document the wood, but at this point it is purely the word of those involved. I do plan on taking pictures, but this stuff is not going to market anywhere.
