Live Edge Redwood Burl Slab | DIY | ET-59 -
$390.00
This exceptional redwood burl slab, measuring approximately 17″ in length x 12″ wide x 2.5″ thick, presents a classic rounded “cookie” shape with rugged, bark-included live edges, natural voids, and sculptural protrusions that evoke the raw power of ancient coastal redwoods.
Lightly misted with water in these photos to highlight its hidden beauty, the slab reveals intense, tight curl figure throughout, dramatic flame-like grain that dances across the surface, rich crimson heartwood transitioning to warm amber tones, and scattered burl eyes that create mesmerizing depth and a shimmering chatoyancy. Raw and unfinished, the water accentuates the wood’s natural iridescence and saturation, previewing the breathtaking transformation possible with professional sanding and finishing.
The slab’s organic, near-oval form—with prominent voids, textured bark remnants, and bold imperfections—lends itself to projects that celebrate untamed natural elegance and three-dimensional character.
Creative uses for this slab include:
Live-Edge Coffee Table Top → Mounted on hairpin legs, a sturdy metal frame, or custom wood bases, it forms a striking round coffee table where the voids add rustic openness (or can be filled with clear resin for a modern, glassy effect).
Dining or Side Table → Paired with a pedestal base or angled legs, this thick slab becomes a compact yet commanding table, perfect for intimate spaces while showcasing its fiery curl and sculptural edges.
Wall Art or Statement Piece → Hung as-is or lightly finished, it serves as captivating abstract wall decor, bringing organic texture, warmth, and a touch of the redwood forest into living rooms, offices, or entryways.
Unique Headboard or Accent Panel → Oriented vertically behind a bed or as a focal panel, its rounded silhouette and vivid figure create a dramatic, nature-inspired backdrop with heirloom presence.
