Redwood Burl
Wood Type: Type 1
Exhibition Grade
Price: $479
About
We secured a promising old rustic rough cut redwood billet from a woodworker’s estate, cut it open and inside was this absolutely killer gnarly burl with the most numerous and densely packed beady little eyes we’ve seen in a long time. Stuff this good usually gets cut up into thin sheets and sold as veneer these days; well, we liberated it for your Chambers!
