The Great Spruce Tree Art Print
This giant spruce tree was cut on the logging operations of the Newskah Timber Company. All four logs in this oil painting were from the same tree. The butt diameter log on the first truck was almost eleven feet, the second was eight feet, third was seven feet, and the fourth log was six-feet in diameter, a total of 45,815 board feet for this portion of the tree. This tree was one of many felled on Salmon Creek land 25 miles south of Aberdeen, Washington. This area, along with other regions of the Pacific Northwest, continues to produce spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock, and pine.
