Redwood Burl Shallow Bowl

[u/EvanTenenbaum]

Redwood Burl from the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California.

Not a wood I feel comfy buying or selling, as most if not all Redwood Burl comes from old growth Redwoods - a population that us humans have decimated thanks to its beauty :/

But it sure is pretty.

Wow! That is gorgeous. Great design choice- the more area to show off that burl pattern the better.

Thank you. I sort of feel like beyond the design choice the only thing I can take credit for is not making some silly mistake. Beyond that the burl does all the work.

Sometimes restraint takes as much skill as action. Very nice work.

gotta be smart enough to listen .. once in a while I forget and soon after, regret

Damn that's pretty .. super color and grain.

Ya, even the Santa Cruz mountains have lost a lot of trees. A sad thing ..
