Buckethead knows about as much as I do regarding this. It's the big ol' tree stump that sits on display at Detweiller Park. If anyone knows more about this, please enlighten us.

I read once that it is a redwood stump that was a gift from California.

Behind the "slice" is a large section about 20ft long laying on the ground. You can see the shadow of it in the photo.

That was one hell of a heavy load.

I think there's a plaque near it. My fault for not reading it!
