Dyed Redwood Burl Stabilized
Dyed Stabilized Redwood Burl – Premium Exotic Wood Blank
Our Dyed Stabilized Redwood Burl blanks offer a striking blend of natural beauty and modern enhancement. Each blank measures a minimum of 1.5" x 1.5" x 18", making it well-suited for cue making, fine woodworking, turning, knife handles, and other precision craft applications where visual impact and reliability are essential.
Redwood burl is known for its wild, organic figure—featuring flowing grain, clusters of tight eyes, and dramatic movement that cannot be replicated. Through professional stabilization, the burl is resin-infused under pressure to greatly increase strength, durability, and dimensional stability. The dyeing process further enhances the wood by saturating the figure with deep, vibrant color while allowing the natural burl pattern to remain clearly visible. The result is a blank that machines cleanly, takes detail exceptionally well, and finishes to a rich, high-gloss surface.
History & Origin
Redwood burl comes from the Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), one of the oldest and tallest tree species on Earth, native to the coastal regions of Northern California. These burls form over decades—sometimes centuries—as a response to environmental stress, injury, or genetic mutation, creating dense, highly figured wood unlike standard redwood grain.
Historically, redwood has been valued for its strength and resistance to decay, but redwood burl has long been regarded as a rare specialty material due to its scarcity and limited yield. In modern craftsmanship, redwood burl has become highly sought after for art pieces, fine turning, custom knife handles, musical instrument components, and luxury cue elements. The addition of dye and stabilization represents a contemporary evolution of this historic wood, combining ancient natural formation with advanced material technology.
Dyed Stabilized Redwood Burl delivers exceptional character, bold color, and dependable performance—making it an outstanding choice for craftsmen seeking something truly distinctive.
