Behind all my raw clear heart Redwoods are documented stories that have a time and reference to whom I purchased them from, to what rare types they are, when I traveled to buy them, and the location I drove to when I collected them. Finding these rare Redwoods takes years of hard work and luck. These Redwoods are extinct and very difficult to find. It is illegal to cut down these beautiful trees on private and Federal land preserves all across Northern California. Unfortunately today people still hike deep into the forests to cut down these magnificent trees that have stood for hundreds of years.

#1 In stock is this amazing find, these 1940's Redwoods that are used in all my "Big Sur" style wooden surfboards. Stamped and certified clear all heart Redwood, ship lap from Palo Alto Redwood mill, this mill was once home to the largest Redwood mill in the world, and was shut down mostly because the timber companies had run out of the ancient, old-growth trees. By some estimates, unfortunately, only 3 percent remain of the vast virgin forests that once cloaked the mountains and valleys of Northern California .
