A Bowl Maker's Paradise

One of the largest trees on our planet

Sequoia tree (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in Sequoia National Park on the western slope of the Sierras in central California

This small area is this giant's native habitat.

BTW All I see is a bunch of bowls, tables, book cases, and chairs standing behind the lovely lady.

How did you stack them in such a neat manner?

The trees are so large that when they felled them they shattered and cracked into millions of little pieces. Most of the wood ended up being used for railroad ties, grape stakes, pencils, and even tooth picks. Quite a shame to drop such special trees for trivial uses.
