Straight Grain Cedar Blocks for
Hollywood Shakes Come Down the Chute
By Jean Roberts
MEHAMA—A little chute,
sloping down a steep bank
from amidst virgin timber, is
the first step in the manufac
ture of "Hollywood shakes”.
To the uninitiated eye it re
sembles any ordinary wood
chute, but by closer observa
tion one can note that it isn’t
common wood coming down,
but fine straight grain cedar
blocks.
High above the old Simpson
mill at Lyons and in the un
touched virgin timber of the
Avery holdings this cedar is
being salvaged from windfal
len cedar which is five to sev
en feet in diameter. In this
uncut forest of fir and cedar,
only the windfalls and dead
snags are harvested for man
ufacture into the well known
“Hollywood shakes.”
Since this is not a cutting
and logging operation the pro
duction of shake blocks Is
done by hand. A small cat is
used to yard the huge cedar
logs and parts of logs to the
top of the chute. At that point
the contractors, which in this
operation consist of two men
Ray Roberts and Frank Crow
ther, must saw the cedar into
30-lnch blocks. These blocks
are then split via sledge and
wedge into blocks that a man
can lift and then push down
the chute.
In the process of splitting,
each knot or resemblance of
a knot is split out leaving
only fine straight grain cedar.
Any rotten spot is split out
leaving only fine straight
grain cedar. Any rotten spot
is split out and discarded and
in the course of salvaging old
and dead material the pile of
rejected blocks is sometimes
bigger than the merchantable
pile.
Worm holes are also taboo,
and If the contractors find a
log filled with these, It must
be discarded. To be sure they
have had to yard in the log,
saw it up, to ascertain the
amount of damage, and if It Is
not merchantable, they are
not paid for their labor.
After the good blocks reach
the road, they are loaded on
a truck and hauled to the
H & H shake miii near Mill
City, where they are sawed.
This too is a hand operated
process. Each shake block is
held by a man and each shake
sawed off on a slant to get
the desired effect. The result
is a fine quality shake thick
on one end and tapered on
the other. The end result is
a fine hand processed shake,
which is more in demand than
any conventional shake.
