Post by: Gary_C on April 29, 2008, 02:38:03 PM
Well it has been a year since this log:

(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11467/RW-How-do-we.jpg)

was reduced to this:

(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11467/RW-Almost-done.jpg)

plus at least two of the people involved have been reduced in size also. For some of the details see the folowing topic:

Isn't it about time for an update. Where did all that redwood go?????

I have a small chunk of it at my house with a story tag on it, if it is the pcs that Jeff had at the Sawlex and was giving out. Tom_in_Mo also has a piece as well if I remember correctly. Many people at that show probably ended up with a small piece of history!!What a great story!! Had to go back and scan thru some of the story and pics.

That is  a gray shirt and not blue , The fatness is due to the high speed winds in Florida and as I had raised my arm to point which way for Tom and I to run the wind blew up my shirt sleeve and protruded the front side of the shirt in an outward motion , Thus you get the "fatness" look!  :D   :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D


OK  ...... fine ...... it is me but the shirt is gray. :D  :D  :D

This thread is rather timely. Were going to be having  pieces of the Redwood on Ebay with a woodburning on them in the very near future. Sawmill and woodlot are donating some magazines that included the story of that day to go with each piece in the auctions.  :)

That's a good start, but you know how much we like pictures. Especially of the things that have been already made from the redwood.   ;D ;D ;D
