The Ancient Sequoia

   John Muir has said it best:  " The Big Tree is nature's forest masterpiece, and so far as I know, the greatest of living things.  It belongs to the ancient stock... and has a strange air of the days about it, a thoroughbred look inherited from long ago--the auld lang syne of trees."

  High along the western slope of California's Sierra Nevada mountains grows the mightiest tree on the face of the earth.  These giants stand so tall and are so big around that they virtually defy description.  Their botanical name is sequoiadendron giganteum but they are often called Redwoods, Sequoias or simply "The Big Trees"

   The Sequoias are among the largest living things.  The redwood used to make these items was a fence post hewn around the turn of the century from an ancient Sequoia logged before the trees became revered and protected in a manner that fits their exalted position as one of nature's wonders.

   We reuse the fence posts to share with you the age and beauty of these amazing trees.  The supply of this type of redwood is limited. Enjoy.
