Forest fires (also known as wildfires) routinely occur throughout Southern California. Wildfires tend to be most common and severe during years of drought and occur on days of strong winds. With extensive urbanization of wildlands, these fires often involve destruction of suburban homes as well as forested land.

In southern California, under the influence of Santa Ana winds, wildfires can move at tremendous speeds, up to 40 miles (60 km) in a single day, consuming up to 1,000 acres per hour. Dense clouds of burning embers push relentlessly ahead of the flames crossing firebreaks without pause.

Select logs from fallen trees killed in wildfires can be used to create beautiful works of art -- without having to cut down living trees.

We are currently offering unique lumber from San Diego area trees destroyed in recent wild fires. All summer long we saved select logs from the grinder and the land fill to preserve this precious resource. This ancient wood boasts ring counts of 20-60/inch, rich color and excellent machinability.
