I'll be computer-free for a week while my wife and I go camping in the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park near Santa Cruz, CA. This is our 30th Anniversary and we are repeating our honeymoon camping spot.
I remember decades ago that when we traveled Hwy 1 or 101 we would see Redwood sales stands where you could get small burls for coffee tables all the way to 8-foot across burls for tables. I assume they no longer exist because there is only so much old-growth forest to produce them.
Does anyone know where to go in the California Coastal area to see (not to buy) huge burls already made into furniture? The one I remember is the "Greens" restaurant in San Francisco.

See you next week.
