The cedar exterior has been treated with Swedish pine tar, a traditional Scandinavian method of preservation. It's a robust finish, meant to endure the damp fog and harsh winter storms. The blacked siding is easily lost among the forest and the ten foot wide charred stumps of the old growth redwood that dot the property-- relics of the timber logging 100 years ago.
