This wood was legally acquired in the North Idaho Panhandle off of private land. The trees were wond blown over 4 years ago in a huge wind storm that pumbled the community with many trees down.

The widest log is 29" from inside bark to inside bark and keeps its width for over 13.5 feet
Then one is 27" also keeps its width which is longer at over 14 feet.
Then 3 are 26" keeping their width for 13.5 feet

They will all be slabbed 2 inches thick unless I get a special order before August 12th 2025.

Estimated 10 live edge slabs per log totalling approximately 45-50 slabs over 26" wide by 13.5 feet long.

Note: Standard countertop width in a kitchen is 26" wide.

These would be great 1 piece countertops with epoxy over them! (2.5 gallons of epoxy per 13 feet equates to about $150)

I have a unlisted youtube link on my YouTube channel to view the collection process if you want a video of the logs.

If you want a specific thickness I need to know before August 12th. Because that is slab day and we are going to pretty much have it whipped in 1 day. We will also have a large variety of other smaller widths and lengths from the smaller stock.

These are about once in a lifetime tree nowadays potentially 200-450 years old.

Idaho doesn't let anyone harvest unprocessed western red cedar on public lands making these trees extremely extremely rare for their size, most trees this size are protected by the state!

Get yours now!

$35/board foot + Freight which looks like it would average $275 but possibly cheaper or more expensive depending on how far from North Idaho you are.

Keep in mind cedar is a lighter wood than even pine and definitely red fir.

This equates to about $2,275 +/- on the shipping/13.5 foot slab.
Shipping is definitely a buyer expense but won't charge any handling costs to ship it.

That's for the large slab price

The smaller stuff, we can work out a better deal when I get more details on sizes

not interested in slabs but I would be interested in shipper that would ship a 13'x26"x2" slab for $275?

Yeah, I was definitely off on the shipping, these are pickup or I can deliver them myself up to 300 miles from Coeur D Alene for $3/mile.

We got them all milled today, made a video of the work and high lighted some showcase slabs.

Enjoy!
