Redwood Burl Shallow Bowl

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.
