This block of wood was 12 feet 9 inches the narrow way and 14 feet the big way (at its widest). The log was felled by Davis & Maras of Packwood in late 1945. Shown in the parking area, the block of wood was sent out for display to the Northwest Door Co. of Tacoma. Because of the shortages of the war, all the cars shown in the background were made prior to 1942. On top of the log is A.A. Spike Maras. Looking up at the log are Maras; partners in the Davis & Maras Co. of Packwood — Fred Davis and P.J. Maras.

Photo and information originally submitted by A.A. Spike Maras for The Chronicle's Our Hometowns books.
