1 log builds a house its true!!

Yes a House made from 1 log

The inside


This famous Northern California attraction was the result of a three month search for the perfect specimen Sequoia Sempervirens, which was finally located near the town of  Orick, in Humboldt County, California.  After felling this 13 foot diameter forest giant,  Art Schmock and a helper needed 8 months of hard labor to hollow out the log into a room  7 ft. high and  32 ft. long, weighing about 42 tons.  His plan was to take it on a cross country tour  to promote the redwoods. However its excess size caused problems. Its first permanent home was at Clam Beach, in Northern Humboldt County.  It then became a redwood knick knack shop at  Leggett, Mendocino County, just off of the Redwood Highway. During a sojourn in Phillipsville, it slid into decay until the current owners bought and lovingly restored it to a new life along the Redwood Highway. It is now near Richardson Grove Sate park at Bear Creek Meadows near the entrance to the Reggae on the River music festival site at French's Camp, California highway #101 in Humboldt county.
