The Woodlands Cemetery and Mansion will be auctioning off rare wood from the Grove of Seven Giants – the historic English Elm trees that had stood there for over 200 years, but had to be cut down after succumbing to Dutch Elm disease a few years ago.

The wood from the Grove of Seven Giants was milled in 2017, and has been carefully drying ever since. This rare wood is now ready to be used in restoration projects at The Woodlands, and in your own home! The Woodlands is auctioning off live edge, raw slabs in a variety of sizes to be used for woodworking projects, furniture, and more.

The auction officially opens on Thursday, April 1 at 9 a.m. Project-ready live edge raw slabs ranging from 5 feet to 10 feet long with a variety of widths are available for bidding or immediate purchase April 1st through April 16th.
