Costal California Redwood Cube

Sequoia sempervirens

These often times enormous trees are some of the largest living organisms on earth. They thrive in the fog belt along the northern Pacific coast in California. The heartwood is pink to a deep reddish brown. The wood is soft, easily worked, and exceptionally durable.

It is a little larger than the dimensions below reflect, but it does also have some surface dents which is why we measured it as we did. Does have some other defects such as cracks. Old and dry.

Hawaiian Koa Turning Blank

Acacia Koa

This is a large tree 2-4' diameter, by up to 120' tall from Mexico & Central America. The wood is very dense and fairly fine-grained. Because of its hardness it can be difficult to work but it takes a fine polish. Its dark color leads some to call it Mexican Ebano and very dark pieces can be used as a substitute for true black Ebony, especially in laminations and inlays. Straight-grained wood can be used for musical instrument fingerboards and bridge blanks.

Some wane, some sap, some cracks. Has the pith going through the middle of the piece (see photo) and has some ring shake.
