Wood Display at Oafcland International Home Show

The pictures reproduced in this article show the all wood exhibit at the International Home Show, sponsored by the Associated Home Builders of the East Bay, which was held in the Oakland Exposition Auditorium, March 3 t-o lO inclusive

The exhibit was financed by Oakland lumber and mill 6rms. Wm. Chatham, Jr., manager of Loop Lumber & Mill Co., Alameda, was elected chairman of the group, and he designed the exhibit, which was built in his company's mill.

Three types of all clear heart redwood siding were featured : I x 8 V rustic, finished in natural redwood color; I x 12 saw sized tongue and grooved vertical siding with a lx2 motrlded batten, finished in a driftwood gray, and I x 8 Anzac siding with mitered corners, also in driftwood gray.

F-lower boxes using the same type of rustic as displayed on the house, were used to form a patio effect, in which were featured redwood lawn chairs. To give the effect of seclusion these flower boxes were backed by a fence display of redwood grape stakes and f x 4 redwood in a woven fence design. The flower boxes contained a colorful display of dafiodils. Also shown were the Ginch square modular redwood garden boxes.

In the interior there was a showing of wall panels of redwood, birch, ribbon grain Philippine mahogany, black rvalnut, vertical grain Douglas fir, knotty Ponderosa pine, and some curly redwood furniture. The floor had a unique treatment of fine fir sawdust, combed with a coarse rake to represent a Chinese rug. The effect was very pleasing
