Redwood

All things Redwood on this page for a while until I get better organized and add a few pages for specific uses. Knife scales, turning wood, gun grips, .....the usual cast of characters. If you see wood that you like.. email to me using the little "contact" form at the bottom of this page. I usually take a "dry" and a misted picture of all my wood. I don't like to make the boards too wet as redwood soaks up water like a sponge.....makes the boards warp but they do straighten out as the water evaporates.

All my redwood comes from Humboldt County, California where I used to live. I had opportunity to work in the big wood days, falling/skidding/loading and hauling those huge logs...an experience I'll never forget.

Lots of the pieces below came from this huge old growth redwood burl slab. There is lots of birdseye, lace and pin burl in it. Old growth like this is getting very hard to find. It is characterized by close growth rings, very firm wood and great color and chatoyancy.

sold....to RJ......R33, $30.00 + $13.65 to ship = $43.65 total. Old growth redwood burl blocks. The largest one came from the big slab in the pic at the top of this page. The thinnest came from Humboldt County, California. There's some burl in both pieces. The thin one measures 1" x 8 x 8 and the large one 3 1/2 x 7 x 7". One dry pics and a bunch of misted/wet pics show all/most sides. The block was dry but I had to wet it to show color...dry pic just doesn't work. After pics were taken I gave it a good shot of a mild solution of end sealer. Pieces of dry redwood this size will often have drying checks/cracks. Note some checks and bark inclusions on the big piece. Fill checks with CA before turning and there should be no problem. The "edge" pics show solid wood.

R34, $20.00 + $13.65 to ship = $33.65 total. Old growth redwood burl block. This came from the big slab in the pic at the top of this page. There is a little burl burl in this piece. It measures 3 1/2" thick x 6 3/4 x 6 3/4". One dry pics and a bunch of misted/wet pics show all/most sides. The block was dry but I had to wet it to show color...dry pic just doesn't work. After pics were taken I gave it a good shot of a mild solution of end sealer. Pieces of dry redwood this size will often have drying checks/cracks. If there is a check, apply a few drops of CA before you turn it. .I'd like to see how a bowl would look with a little resin "filler" on the corner. : )

R27, $20.00 + $13.65 to ship = $33.65 total. Figured redwood for you scroll saw guys. Five pieces, three with a natural edge will measure 1/2 x 6 x 13 1/2 and 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 13 1/2 and two pieces at 1/2 x 5 1/2 to 8" long. The first pic is dry and the rest misted just a little. You can get an idea of how it would look finished. I don't like to "soak" redwood although it looks amazing. : ) But..it tends to warp..not a good thing. These pieces are planed on the visible side...other side is bandsaw cut.

sold to B.......R25, $25.00 + $7.25 to ship = $32.25 total. Old growth redwood lace burl. Lots of pics will show it pretty well, both sides. I misted it a bit...didn't wet it to really show how it will look finished but you woodies know. : ) This is the same type wood that I use when making pen blanks and knife scales. Resaw..stabilize..make big $$. : ) or..at least that's the idea. It measures 2 x 5 1/4 x 5 1/4".

R89, $20.00 + $5.00 to ship = $25.00 total. Hi Guys, here's a whole bunch of redwood burl thin pieces for sale.
There should be 30 of 'em. They'll all be 5" long and 1/4 to 3/8" thick...1/2 to 3/4" wide give or take. Lots of pics show them pretty well.

sold to B....R11, $25.00 + 7.25 to ship = $32.25 total. Hi Guys, here's a beautiful example of old growth redwood with some burl for sale. It came from Humboldt County, California near the historic little logging town of Falk. Read about Falk and the home of this piece. https://www.visitredwoods.com/listing/falk-historic-logging-ghost-town/526/ This wood was present at the time of the first logging in Humboldt County...the heart of the redwood country. The board measures 7/8 x 8 x 15 1/2" long. Some dry pics and some misted show both sides. It could make a really nice display piece or vertical background behind a shelf...put a little light above it...could be very pretty. There are some light bandsaw tracks on the backside...left from going through the headrig years ago.

R59, $25.00 + $7.20 to ship = $32.20 total. Old growth redwood figured stopper blocks for casting. Fourteen pieces will measure approximately 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 2 1/2" long. Some could be a little more, some less. Lots of pics, dry and misted. PIcs were taken inside and the reflection on the water is distracting but you will have an idea of what they would look like finished. Old growth has a chatoyancy factor not seen so often in second growth. This wood came from an old stump/root ball that had been buried in a river bar for many years. That may account for the dark staining on some of them.
