    Here's the two man version.

    If one ever gets the chance to stand amongst a redwood grove in N. Cal, do so, it's awesome to see!

    Here's a link to a pic of a guy resurfacing a 32/4X15X18' "PANEL" for a TRUE piece of wall art. Wonder where the heck that piece wound up.http://oldphotoguy.com/p333085964/h1A8AC2AE#h1a8ac2ae

    Large logs that were to big to be sawed by the Saw mill were split into sections that the saw mill could handles. My great grandfather had a saw mill. that could handle trees as big as 5 foot in diameter that was run by a water wheel. I have a painting of the old saw mill.

    sometimes they actually would use black powder to split the logs... This I learned from my grandfather and watched my grandfather and dad split a tree to be sawed by the new saw mill that my grandfather had that way.
