Redwood Burl 11-28-17

Redwood is in the family of the largest living trees that have ever been on planet earth! Coastal redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) are the tallest trees but their cousin, the giant Sequoia (Sequoia gigantium) take the record for the largest living tree in the World. In the mid 1800's logging operations commenced in the forests where these beautiful trees grow, leaving behind a path of stumps and logs that were deemed unusable. Today, stumps and logs less than 16' long are being extracted from these areas. Most of this salvaged wood still produces solid wood that has been aged and slowly dried over a hundred or more years. Redwood is suitable for large tables, bar tops, mantles, cabinets, Guitar tops, and turnings. Figured boards are sometimes available with flamed fiddle back or burl eyes and can produce beautiful bass or electric guitars. Our Redwood is all salvaged.

This is an amazing batch of exhibition grade Redwood lace burl! Exceptionally clean blanks contain amazing figure and colors. Though they are partially air dried, the twice turning method will work well for turners allowing the wood to finish drying easily and quickly. The blanks are wax sealed .  This is the highest quality burl we have offered in 5 years.  Get it while you can!
