The Buy

 
Steve in Orick, California



I found it on a trip to Brookings, Oregon, with my friend Kathy to see her sister, Sharon. Sharon was kind enough to take us south into California to see the redwoods.

I am in awe of the redwoods. 1,000+ years and still growing. It's an amazing experience.

Sharon took us to Orick to pick up a base that she ordered for her redwood table. I talked to Steve about redwood and how he worked with it. He assured me that all their wood was from deadfall and legally obtained. He also answered all of my questions--patiently. An artist. And a great guy.

I looked around the yard at the unfinished burls and slabs and found mine. $69. And very interesting.
