LOL!

The log is probably freshly harvested old-growth. Dunno about Toolmaker51 :-P

That is a massive log building they're putting up; any idea of where it is? The Photographer's credit says Portland OR, but it could be anywhere in the Pac NW...

Portland is correct. It burned down August 17, 1964.

"Oregon lost world’s biggest log cabin in spectacular 1964 fire
Ancient electrical wiring ignited Portland's legendary Forestry Building, a structure made of massive, flawless old-growth logs that had been built for the Lewis and Clark Exposition in 1905.
Forestry building, Portland, Oregon. Built 1905; burned in a cataclysmic fire 1964.
A souvenir postcard image of the Forestry Building from the 1905 Lewis
and Clark Expo, probably from a sketch made before construction was
complete.

Told I have bark, so there's probably knot much difference. But no termites!
