Wood with history...
The old oak wood is probably from round wood that was felled in the Waldkirch area and stored in the “Sailerlenzen” farm. This farm was probably built around 1780 - 1800. This farm burned down in 1902 and the wood was saved from the flames at that time. In their first life, the “logs” were the outside walls of old houses; they were mostly hewn by hand and are approx. 105-120 years old.
