Redwood burl coffee table with Chrysocolla jasper and Chrysocolla inlay is 42” long, 25” wide and 19” high.

Redwood burl or “Sequoia sempervirens” is found from southwestern Oregon to the coastal northwest area of California. The tree can grow up to 300 feet and twelve feet in diameter. The heartwood spans from a deep red brown to a pink brown with patterning that sometimes include “lace”. The burl, which is a growth on the side, root, or base of the tree, brings deeper reds, browns and golds. This redwood burl is from Northern California.

Chyrsocolla is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral. It comes from Greek chrysos meaning ‘gold’ and kola ‘glue’ although its color is typically a combination of blue and green. Chyrsocolla is found in the United States in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Idaho. The Chyrsocolla used in this table is from Arizona.

The finish contains seven coats of Tung oil; sanded after each coat. Tung oil brings out the unique characteristics of the redwood burl. Wood does expand and contract making it subject to slight checking, cracking and movement. To maintain the beauty of the Redwood Burl avoid using cleaning solutions instead use water in a damp rag. Remove the excess moisture with a clean towel. For polishing a beeswax solution such as Howard Feed-N- Wax or Artisan Lemon Oil Wax is good. Just follow the directions from the manufacturer.
