curly Redwood...


My next piece of 'select' wood is a nice thick slab of curly Redwood that should yield 6 mid-upper range flutes. While a large slab, it's fairly lightweight, typical of such a softwood. When finished, it will yield a 3-D like surface and grain, and be a lightweight flute, overall. I can hear Tim-the-Tool-Man-Taylor now with his little guffaw....!
