Hi folks,
I got the wood " Sequoia" from a man here in Arizona, and he said his dad brought over 6 semi loads of the Sequoia from California to make furniture from in the mid 80s and he helped his dad make the furniture until he passed away and this wood is the 3 stumps (6' in dia and 12 foot tall) that his dad did not use and they have sat in his yard for the last 25 or so years, and I would think that he knows.
Thanks
joe
