Huge slab identification help.

I picked up this tree slice table from a lady on craigslist, id like to find out what it possibly is. It had a base that was buckeye burl, top definitely is not. I tried to get decent pictures but it was finished with epoxy resin and i get gnarly glares. Thanks in advance for the help. Its 5ft x a little over 2ft. The bark is up to 9in wide in some spots.

Yeah, I agree w/ Mike. Looks like redwood but I wouldn't bet money on that.

Sequoia was my first thought. These tables were big in the early 70's -mid 80's. The slabs were commonly branches, thus the oval dimensions. If the wood had timber qualities, it would sometimes go for timber, but often to limit risk of load / tension reaction, it went to the artisan lots and became carvings, end tables, bowls and more.

Thanks guys!!! Any idea of what it could be worth? I pretty much stole it at 140$
