Any help identifying this wood? Redwood?

I snagged a few of what i thought were redwood posts from the front porch of a 1940s ranch house i remodeled a few years ago. Where I'm confused is in the weight of these peices. I sanded/planed/ripped them down from a 4x4'ish post that they were into about an equivalent to a 2x4 now. The...

Plant Shelf - Dawn Redwood (from Kyle)

This was fun to design/build. Drawing it in Sketchup was harder than building it! The problem was cutting the curves in the sides that angle in about 6 degrees. Finish is just a coat of Teak Oil. This redwood darkens up really quick out in the sun. LOML had it loaded up about 5 minutes...

Redwood Burl Pen Experiment - PICS

My co-worked Tom offered me a 25-year old redwood burl he picked up in a previous life in California so that a couple pens could come to life. It was a beautiful piece of wood -- well, who's to judge -- so we chopped it up into pen-size blanks! Here are a couple of picture (more in my photo...

Nurse Log

Hiding out in the trunk

Yes, that is just one tree. You can see why George Lucas chose this forest as the location for one of the Star Wars filming sites.
