These hand-crafted cedar stools come from Casa Guillermo, located at 3,000 feet in the foothills of Butte County. In September 2020, a firestorm raged down the Feather River, destroying everything in its path. What were once beautiful, fragrant cedar trees quickly became charred-black skeletons. The stools remind us how temporary life is and what a blessing it is just to be alive.
