What is it?
This backgound is from a scan of an actual piece of a redwood shake. Shakes were used as roofing and siding back in the good old days. Much of this old lumber is hauled to the dump every year or burned as kindling. Barns and other farm buildings built from beautiful old growth wood continue to be bulldozed into splinters, while everyone recycles their cardboard and paper to "save a tree".
Am I preaching? Back to La Honda.
