The Crew circa 1990 ish, beautiful Douglas Fir slabs recovered from Lake Cowichan area, these trees had been knocked down after the war as a make work program for returning soldiers. They were too big to skid out so were found under a fully mature forest. They were cut in the forest into wedges and flown out by helicopter.
