I've already "Googled" it and it looks like it was a bowling alley at a lake resort. Thanks, Jason Thanks Pete,

Thought you might like like to know that it was salvaged from the dismantling of the Maple Valley Bowling Alley in Maple Valley, WA. We were able to re-saw and surface the piece,while keeping it within 1" of its original dimension (we like to think of that as honoring the guy who ran the saw rig way back when the log was cut into timbers)of 4" x 18"x 26'. Nice to see it getting a second life in a good home. cheers, p Jason–

Just wanted to point out that those were stacks of Redwood (sequoia sempervirens) not cherry wood. cheers, p Jason,

WOW. It is great. I live in Spain, so my building concerns may differ in some things, but this is really useful. I will be spending quite a bit of time reading the older entries and keeping track of this. I just found this site. WOW. It is great.

I've heard good things about Duluth Timber. One little spelling error I wanted to point out - it's Douglas Fir, not Fur. :) Great post, Jason! I’ve heard good things about Duluth Timber.
