Rotary Cut Redwood Burl Veneer

Sourced from the majestic Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), one of the largest and tallest tree species on earth, Redwood Burl veneer offers a character as impressive as its origin. Known also as Sequoia, Big Tree, Coastal Redwood, or Vavona Burl, this material presents a uniformly deep reddish-brown color that creates a rich, warm, and inviting surface. While quarter-cut logs can yield a beautifully striped or figured grain with fine markings, the most sought-after veneer comes from burl.

Sliced from the prolific burl growths found on occasional redwood trees, this veneer, often called Vavona Burl, is prized for its large and exceptionally uniform sheets. The rotary cut highlights dense clusters of eyes, creating a dynamic and highly decorative pattern. Native to the West Coast of the United States, Redwood Burl veneer is a premium choice for a range of high-end applications, including:

  • Architectural Panels
  • Fine Cabinetry
  • Intricate Marquetry
  • Custom Millwork
  • Musical Instruments
  • Bespoke Store Fixtures
