Here is the Provenance of the making of these doors

201.jpg

ALL of our Old Growth Redwood comes from salvaged wood and 100 year old "buckskins" that have laid out in the forest floor for 70 to 100 years. Since Redwood heartwood does not rot or remains unharmed by insects ....... then small independent sawyers haul out these logs and saw them into lumber ........ and we buy the best of the best !!
