At Redwood Burl, we’ve long been known for providing the finest raw slabs, bases, mantels, and more, crafted from the majestic old-growth redwood that defines the natural beauty of the West Coast. But today, we’re thrilled to showcase another side of our expertise: our ability to create breathtaking, custom-finished works of art built to exact customer specifications. We’re proud to announce the completion of a magnificent 7’x4’ old-growth curly redwood dining table with a matching redwood burl base, designed and crafted specifically for our valued client, Nelson.
This stunning dining table is a testament to the artistry and dedication that define Redwood Burl. Sourced from the heart of an ancient redwood, the table’s top features the mesmerizing, wavy grain patterns of curly redwood, a rare and highly sought-after characteristic that gives the wood a shimmering, almost three-dimensional depth. The live edges of the slab were carefully preserved, highlighting the natural contours and rugged beauty of the tree’s original form. Paired with a sculptural redwood burl base, this table is not just a piece of furniture rather it’s a conversation starter, a centerpiece, and a legacy that will be cherished for generations.
The journey to create this masterpiece began with Nelson’s vision. He approached us with a desire for a dining table that would reflect the raw beauty of nature while serving as a functional work of art for his home. Our team worked closely with him to select the perfect slab, ensuring that the grain, color, and natural features aligned with his aesthetic goals. From there, our skilled craftsmen poured their expertise into every step of the process by hand-sanding the surface to a silky-smooth finish, meticulously applying a protective sealant to enhance the wood’s natural luster, and sculpting the burl base to complement the organic flow of the tabletop. The result is a seamless blend of nature’s raw beauty and our team’s refined craftsmanship.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Nelson for entrusting us with this special project. It was an honor to bring his vision to life, and we’re thrilled to know that this one-of-a-kind table will be the heart of his home, hosting countless meals, gatherings, and memories. Nelson’s trust in our abilities has inspired us to continue expanding our custom offerings, and we’re more motivated than ever to help others create their heirloom-quality pieces.
