Beautifully lithographed on 80# Quintessence dull cover
Roy Slater was a typical West Coast Logger, born in Sweet Home, Oregon and raised in the Willamette Valley. He started working in the woods a the age of 16, and worked his way up from Choker Setter to High Climber, and then Logging Superintendent for Rookard Logging Co., Eugene. He worked in Oregon, Northern California and Alaska.
One day a lady by the name of Hazel Slater wrote Ole and asked him if he could draw in pen and ink a picture she had enclosed of Roy. The picture was taken with an old box camera and was very small. Ole couldn’t do it in pen and ink, but decided he could do it in oil. He added the rain coat hanging on the wall and the cork boots. Roy had passed away and the picture meant a great deal to Hazel and her children, and to Roy’s relatives.
"The Footlog"
Image Size: 13.75 "X22" Trim Size: 16.5"X24"
Beautifully lithographed on Rising Mirage 100% rag paper
Some run across 'em, some crawl, and some walk cautiously. The Footlog is depicted in this colored print of an oil painting by Eldon R. "Ole" Olin.
​
Ole walked many footlogs in his life as a timber cruiser, and one time fell in the water and had to build a fire and dry out before finishing the days work. At that time he was the Compassman on the job and the older Timber Cruisers helped him out of the water and to a fire they built to dry out his clothes. The man on the left in the painting was Lou Surcamp of Springfield, Oregon. He came out to Ole's house and posed on a trailer bed as if he was walking a footlog. The man on the right was John Venator of Eugene, Oregon. Both John and Ole were cruising timber one day and Ole asked if he would pose like he was walking a footlog. John said, “You know I don’t like footlogs, but I will do it if you'll trim me down a little in weight.” Both men are now deceased.
