What are you using to keep the throttle on? 

 

Why did they need the 1" Slabs so badly? Im guessing they will still be green?

Sequoia? Blasphemy! This is coastal Redwood which is on another level when it comes to quality of the wood.

 

I Iive and work in an undisclosed location deep down in some holler in northern California.

 

A few pics of the tree which produced this log. Climb em, kill em, skid em, mill em. One stop shopping.
