There's a weight limit on the checked luggage, can't remember what it
is. But they don't care if it's wood or knickknacks. Just dimensions
and weight.

I believe it's 50 lbs. Also, check to see you if you can ship via
the cargo hold. A lot of airlines allow you to bring cargo to a
counter
to ship. Often cheaper than UPS or FedEx. Can't remember the
limits, etc. Probably vary with the airlines. Oh, and there are
probably new restrictions viz-a-viz security. So don't assume
you can walk right up the cargo counter. Call first!
