TO construct an automobile body out
of a section of a huge redwood tree is a
feat recently accomplished by
Charles Kellogg of Santa Clara,
California. Mr. Kellogg is well
known as the first man to imi-
tate birds with his voice."
To accommodate this unique
redwood body, ‘an especially-
designed chassis was construct-
ed. Then Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg
traveled to the Eel river coun-
try, where many mammoth red-
woods grow. Here they secured
from a lumber company a section
of one of the large trees. The sec-
tion chosen was twenty-two
feet long, thirty-three feet in
circumference and weighed forty
tons.
One-half of this piece was cut
away, and the selected half was
hollowed and the bark was re-
moved. It was then jacked up
and the chassis was run beneath
it. When dried, this finished
product weighed about five
thousand pounds. The car has
been fitted with windows and
doors, and the inside has been
equipped with beds, kitchenette,
closets, electric lights and all
traveling conveniences.
