abinets are the children of trees. We chose the sequoia as our symbol because it is the tallest, strongest, most durable of all. We wanted to create cabinetry that would reflect that greatness – Introducing our new line: Sequoia Custom Cabinetry. C tom Cabinetry n IMAGINE The Giant Sequoia is world- renowned as the largest and oldest living thing on the planet. Some are more than three thousand years old. KITCHENS Thank you for selecting Sequoia Custom Cabinetry as your cabinet choice. Designing a space that is right for you and your family can be overwhelming so if you are tired of hearing no from other cabinet suppliers, our flexibility will ease your mind. We adapt to you, our customer, by creating cabinetry that is unique to your lifestyle. Share your dreams and allow us to make them your reality. Sequoias average 275 feet in height, with trunks from 15 to 35 feet in diameter, the tallest attaining heights of more than 350 feet. KITCHENS A great value is simply the best product at the best price. We start with the finest materials available and combine highly skilled hand craftsmanship with modern, state of the art machinery to produce a superior cabinet at a fair price. We stand behind Sequoia Custom Cabinetry with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Sequoia, a genus of coniferous trees, comprises the species Sequoia Sempervirens (the redwood) and Sequoia- dendron Giganteum (the giant sequoia). KITCHENS This is a word that every cabinet manufacturer likes to associate with but, only a few own. We have quality control inspectors involved in every step of our manufacturing process. With over 30 years of experience and a continual commitment to excellence, Sequoia Custom Cabinetry is the quality product that today’s discerning buyers have come to expect. A sequoia can produce about 40 cubic feet of wood each year … approximately equal to the volume of a 50 foot tall tree one foot in diameter. BATHS Sequoia Custom Cabinetry is built to sustain a lifetime of use. We use the best materials, construct by using time tested techniques and finish with solvent based stains and catalyzed conversion varnish top coats. Our result is a durable life lasting product. Sequoias are found in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California in 66 groves that range from 6 to 5,000 acres of trees. BATHS We are highly sensitive to the time line of your project. That is why our entire team is committed to getting your Sequoia Custom Cabinetry to you on time. We manufacture standard cabinets in four weeks and custom cabinets and finishes in only five to six weeks. The best known protected sequoia groves are found in California’s Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. MEDIA CENTERS Through streamline processes and the most modern machinery, we manufacture our cabinets efficiently and effectively. We recycle, use less energy, and minimize waste, thus, saving our natural resources. Unlike other states, California adheres to higher standards of cleaner air and manufacturing guidelines. Sequoia Custom Cabinetry not only meets but exceeds these environmental laws set by state and local air quality agencies. Our sensitivity to the environment is also reflected in our community involvement within our town and our state. Something you do not get from out of state manufacturers. The most famous and largest sequoia, “The General Sherman”, located in Sequoia National Park, is 272 feet high, with a trunk 18 feet thick and is the oldest living thing in the world. LIBRARIES Sequoia Custom Cabinetry is manufactured in Sanger, California. A community that is geographically located near the center of our state. We are close to our customers, allowing for reliable and faster delivery. We are 30 years strong and continue to manufacture in California. The third largest sequoia, “The General Grant”, located in Kings Canyon National Park, was proclaimed the “Nation’s Christmas Tree” in 1926 by President Calvin Coolidge.

    Giant Sequoia Our Giant Sequoia Forests Teacher’S Guide

    Giant Sequoia Our Giant Sequoia Forests Teacher’s Guide Giant sequoia, among the largest living things on the planet, are a great resource for cross-disciplinary studies. Our Giant Sequoia Forests introduces students in second through fifth grades to giant sequoia forests and offers ideas for exploring and taking action to protect these amazing trees. Below you will find answers to activities in the brochure and ways to use the publication in your classroom. Introduction Show students a photograph of a giant sequoia tree. Create a K-W-L chart with the class. Give the students a few pieces of information about giant sequoia to entice them, such as, • they are the largest living things on the planet • they can live to be really old • they are found only in California, in the mountains. Have students think about large animals they may compare to the giant sequoia; the largest sequoia is the same width of a large orca. Additionally, introduce the students to the idea of a forest. Have the students pair-share what a definition of a forest is and what you find in a forest: • a forest is a large area of land with trees and other plants • things you may find in a forest are trees, plants, animals, fungus, rocks, fallen logs, trails and people! Tell the students they are going to read more about a forest in California called a giant sequoia forest. Giant Sequoia Brochure After students have read the booklet and answered all the Sequoia Superhero Challenges, review the answers with the class.

    Long-Lived Trees: Their Possible Testimony to a Global Flood and Recent Creation

    CEN Tech. J., vol. 7(1), 1993, pp. 43–67 Long-Lived Trees: Their Possible Testimony to a Global Flood and Recent Creation GREG J. BEASLEY ABSTRACT The Old and New Testament Scriptures, combined with secular histori­ cal records, allow the Bible historian to establish a chronology of earth and human history from the time of the creation through to the present day. The genealogy contained in Genesis chapter 5 provides a basis for dividing human and earth history into two distinct periods —an antediluvian (or pre- Flood) epoch of approximately 1,656 years and a postdiluvian (or post- Flood) epoch in excess of 4,300 years. The Old Testament Scriptures also allude to the existence of trees of great longevity (Isaiah 65:20,22). In the following paper a review is conducted of various tree-ring studies around the world, including the extended bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva, Pinus aristata) and combined English and durmast oak (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea) chronologies. It is suggested that such studies provide a measure of prima facie and circumstantial evidence for a global Flood less than 5,000 years ago and a creation date less than two millennia earlier. Evidence is also cited in support of a single, post-Flood Ice Age. INTRODUCTION fossilised (petrified) trees enables extended tree-ring chronologies to be constructed. The Science of Dendrochronology Now it is at the base of a tree trunk that we find the The science of dendrochronology1 is founded on two maximum number of tree-rings — the centre of the tree’s established premises. Firstly, that the approximate age of core (or pith) at this level approximating its germination certain species of trees can be ascertained through the point.

Caprio, Linda S. Mutch, Thomas W. Swetnam, and Christopher H. Baisan Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721 ABSTRACT Fire was a dominant disturbance process in the development and maintenance of most Sierra Nevadan forests, including the many unique giant sequoias groves. Individual severe fire events had important impacts on both the short-term dynamics and the long-term history of these forest stands. In the Mountain Home Grove of giant sequoias we observed that a fire in A.D. 1297, recorded as scars on many trees, was followed by a growth release of unusually large magnitude and duration. The number of scarred trees and a growth release of this size suggested this fire event was of unusually high severity, not equaled over the last 2,000 years. We hypothesize that this event was associated with mortality of most non-sequoia tree species and a considerable number of giant sequoias. In this study we examined the spatial extent of this event throughout the grove and the temporal response of the growth release by comparing ring-width series from samples from within the grove to a regional "control" tree-ring chronology.
