It's a 3" piece so I'll have a number of sets when all is said & done. First will probably be an OLF SJ since I'm itching to have one of those! Who knows for the rest. This tree was up in the Chico area. Big trunk the size of my car. I'm still inquiring to see if I can find out if it was one of the original General Bidwell trees. He was a bit of a tree nut and planted, from what I hear, a lot of the original walnut tress amongst other tree varieties in the Chico area. Wood history is a lot of fun. |
