No one has ever seen a tree this big. It spans six-feet, four-inches at the bottom, threefeet, five inches on the top and is 65 feet long � a splendid Western Red Cedar from B.C.'s costal forest.

This amazing natural specimen has been hand picked to serve as a "main structural component" in the largest log home in the world that is being built here in Williams Lake. The home will eventually be built at Moberly Lake.

Weighing in at 25,000 pounds it dwarfs the workers who diligently work to shape and perfect it.

The age of the tree is estimated to be 900 years old and took eight months to find.

"It's the only one we have ever seen," said Andre Chevigny of Pioneer Log Home "The trucker that hauled it said that in 27 years of hauling logs in B.C. he had never seen a piece like it."

Chevigny himself is in awe, saying, "We have not worked with anything close to this size in all the years, in all the structures that we have done."

Once all the work is completed on the log, it alone will be worth an estimated $20,000.
