This live edge redwood burl has Chrysocolla and copper inlay. 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.

Copper is the inlay. It is typically found in multiple states in the U.S. including Utah, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, and New Mexico. Copper is very malleable and has a beautiful reddish-brown color that accents the Redwood burl. The copper powder inlay is from Arizona.

The finish contains four coats of Tung oil; sanded after each coat. Tung oil brings out the unique characteristics of the redwood burl.
