The Redwood? Box

Robert, nice job! Yhat is some really cool grain and color on that. What ever wood it is, very cool.
I can see why it sold so quickly!

This special graining appears to be Redwod that was under compression. That is condition is not uncommon near the base of larger redwood trees.

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

That is some very fancy redwood! And ya done good on the box as well. The splines are subtle and everything focuses on the amazing grain. Old Doug Fir has a very chacteristic smell when sawed to me. Redwood much less so. Agree?

I did try to tell by smell, but the smell was too faint. Kind of like a 2×4-sort of. The guy who has more of this is 2 hours away over the mountains, by so is anyone else with wood besides fir and pine!! I guess it is worth a road trip. I need some more Purpleheart and Padauk too. Thanks for the comments. I do like pretty wood!

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

yes this is really an amazing piece of wood, i think i would call it “over the river and through the woods”..its just that up and down wavy thing….i would for sure make a road trip and get what is left of this…some things are just worth it,i really love it when the wood is the center of the project and not design…good job here…grizz

Exceptional grain. You have made the most of it, sometimes some pieces of wood decide what you do with it and this is one of those results.

-- And my head I'd be a scratchin'

That is surely beautiful. Wow! That side panel looks super with those splines. Nice wood combo for that

Wow Robert…that is great looking. That grain gives it the look of being sculpted..Nice...!

Fantastic grain! I’m quite sure it’s redwood. Compare it to this redwood turning I did a while back.
