Wood Living Room Furniture

Paul Darafeev video tapes how a reclaimed California Oak tree is quarter sawn in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Central California. This 8 foot long, 26″ diameter log is reduced to timber, which is then sliced into about 1″ to 2″ thick boards. The thinner planks are then are run through a sticker machine and turned into flooring. California Oak is also referred to as Tan Oak, and is occasionally but down by loggers seeking softwood and redwood trees. Logs that are not reclaimed will either rot where they are felled, or turned into firewood. This is a precious resource which can be utilized for furniture, flooring, and accessories, and has yet to be discovered.
