A whole bunch I bet. j/k

Speaking of redwood was it used to build boats in the past?

[rock]

Maybe. I know you can't paint it very well. The wood has a natural oil in it i believe which is why it is so rot resistant. Sure would make a purdy boat.

Some of them are over 2000 years old. Left alone they'll go another for ever.
