All my redwood comes from Humboldt County, California...the heart of the redwood country. I used to live there and had opportunity to work in the big wood day, falling, skidding, loading and hauling those huge logs...an experience I'll never forget.
The wood on this page will be for turning or small projects that might require a "board" for flatwork. Pen blanks, knife scales, small things will have their own pages.
