This unique log, cut in Washington in 1926 from a 434-year-old Douglas fir, was hollowed out to create a complete wee home. Mounted on a Graham Brothers Truck, it traveled over 18,000 miles through 32 states, visiting schools and lecturing to children. The log measured 9 feet 4 inches in diameter and 311 feet high, containing 50,000 board feet of lumber. The interior features a bed, kitchen, and living space, utilizing Coleman and Air-O-Gas for utilities.
