Some redwood I resawed last weekend

[Kevin Sjostrand]

I got a big old weathered slab from a friend who didn't know what to do with it.
I cut away the split ends and cut it to 10" wide and 24" long and got 4 sets of tops. Could have had 5 sets but I screwed up the first two trying to resaw with the 1/4" blade that was on my saw. Then I put the 1/2" woodslicer on and it cut like butter. The black streaking gives it an organic look, sort of like sinker.
Free is always good!

Nice!

I have a clean chunk of really good looking sequoia from a friend in Fort Bragg. I have been think about re-sawing it (for a couple of years now). The set you are showing might inspire me to try it.

Just do it John, it's fun.

Is that Sinker? How's it look with the stripping in the center?

Gosh Tim, its been almost a year and I never saw your post to reply. So sorry.
I don't know if it is sinker. I was a big old plank that a friend gave me that came from a friend of his. For sure stained, and it looks like some of the sinker redwood I've seen.
Haven't used it yet, but I am very happy with the classical I just finished that is EIR with a redwood top. It has a lovely sound.

LOL. It's been so long I forgot I even posted. Started looking at it from the top and my first thought was -"Is that Sinker?" Then reading down further saw my post!
