The State of California recently completed a decades-long infrastructure project involving pipelines and canals to transport water from Northern California to the cities of Southern California.
Now salvaged and available for purchase, all of the wood planking which was used to allow men and machines easy transport within the tunnels during construction.
The tunnel material is a beautiful rich brown barnwood after pressure washing. The planks are slightly nominal in dimensions and the majority is long (up to 20')
This image shows the tunnel planks as they were pulled from the project and bundled for shipment. These planks are covered with a fine gray slurry dust which results from the Tunnel Boring Machine(TBM) grinding the rocks of the mountain into fine bits.
