WOODZ Series - Historical photographic reverence to the Canadian Logging Industry.

J. R. Booth was a Canadian lumber tycoon and railroad baron. He controlled logging rights for large tracts of forest land in central Ontario, and built the Canada Atlantic Railway (from Georgian Bay via Ottawa to Vermont) to extract his logs and to export lumber and grain to the United States and Europe. In 1892, his lumber complex was the largest operation of its kind in the world.

Much of the lumber used in the construction of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa was supplied by Booth.

Sunken timber from a century and a half of log drives, these beautiful log ends of centuries old wood have been left behind in lakes and rivers, never making it to their destinations. These ends are marked with historical timber company branding, which identify lumber companies during the logging days of the 1800s - 1900s.

Each piece tells a unique story, one that connects us to forests and nature.
