PORTLAND BUILDER
. USES REDWOOD FOR
INTERIOR FINISH
An Innovation In Intorior finish
for Portland homes lias been Inaug
urated. Clnronc WVMIchnol, local
builder, has recently completed a
homo In Westmoreland. Tho trim
Is of natural California redwood,
shellacked, band rubbed and oilod,
which, brings out tho grain ot tho
wood and niakos a most pleasing fin
ish, Thoro is a growing ubo for red
wood in Portland. Tho Coon Lum
ber Co., which Is making n specialty
of rodwood, lias handled 800,000
feet Hlnco tho first of tho year. In
dlscussiiig tho subject with ' Sum
Connoll, who handlua redwood, bo
snld:
"From 1887 until 1000 David
Forrls, of Han Francisco, operated
tho Oregon-California Hodwood Co.'s
yard, located on Socond Street. Af
ter tho yard was closed Mr. ForrlB
returned to San Francisco and died
there. Tho demand for rodwood
hiingulow aiding is growing in Port
land. It sella for loss than spruce
siding. In somo canon tho Biding is
merely oiled and left In tho natural.
Tho tiso of enamel finish In homos
is pmiliir, mid redwood takes enam
el vory satisfactorily. Tho wood is
nlao tiBod fpr pnttorn stock by tho
machlno shops."
It Is interesting to romembor that
Oregon produces' California rod
wood, manufactured at Brookings
by thn California & Oregon Lumbar
Co. Tlio rnll rnto on redwood lum
ber from. California pplnta to Port
land in nliout G4 conts per hundred
pounds. History rnponts ltxalt. In
tho early seventies and eighties a
considerable Block of redwood wan
carried in 'Portland; red cedar and
redwood wero In fashion and Inter
both woods went out of uso as in
terior trim In Portland. ' Now, tho
pendulum soems to hnvo nwting back
to redwood again. Fashions changa
In flnlahlng' woods as lif everything
