Timber shipped to St Louis for Fort Clatsop replica
Rainier Wilson Cage lumber company sent four cars of timber to the St Louis fair for a Oregon state building enclosure. Timbers range up to 40 feet long with bark on one side and odd face dimensions. The project aims to recreate Fort Clatsop and its stockade, using 17 000 feet of timber, a rare consign ment with bark intact. Locally it proves difficult to source suitably curved, bark preserving trees, amid a mild winter and opposite climate conditions in St Louis.
