RE: Unusual Redwood
Very nice- Should be able to tell fir from redwood by weight. Looks cool either way. What is size and if you do not mind me asking how much did it sell for?

The wood was very dry and very heavy in 2 x 8 form. I cut some more today and thought it smelled like Fir- sort of. The box was about 8" long x 6" tall x 5" wide. It sold for $75.00. I had it marked at $85.00, but reduced the price after 2 days of slow sales. I am making another one now. robert |

It looks a lot like Fir, but the depth of the grain is beautiful whatever it is. I made some into a box and gave some to a friend. I am using another piece now to make another box. Someone bought this one at a show. It drew a lot of attention. Watco Danish Oil as a finish. The top is some Curly Redwood from Rock B.Hey Robert, I remember that curly "top".......turned out really well and obviously it found a good home. : ) The side piece looks a whole lot like curly redwood too. Lots of variations in color with redwood. I have seen curly Doug fir though.....a possibility for the sides. I'm working just north of McCoy Reservoir......closer to your house than my own. : ( Keep postin' them pics....
