Redwood

California Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens) is found in the US,and is a very fast growing tree. The wood is red in color with distinct growth rings, lighter in weight than many woods. The burl (shown here) is particularly striking with distinct eye like patterns. Its resistance to moisture makes its valuable for use in outdoor furniture and as exterior shingles, and the burl is often used as veneer.

NWFW does not sell wood; only items made from wood. Please see our links page for wood retailers. If you would like detailed information on specific woods used in any of our items, please contact us.

Northwest Fine Woodworking encourages the use of woods from sustainable yield resources.
