Information:
Rimu is a common species in New Zealand. It
grows in nearly every major indigenous forested area, where it is
often the most dominant or co-dominant species, with the exception
of beech forests. The figure of Rimu is stunning. It looks a lot like highly figured
olive wood but has colors similar to Kauri. Redwoods
are the tallest living trees on earth. In the mid 1800’s logging
operations took place in Northern California, where these trees
grow, leaving behind a bunch of stumps that were deemed unusable.
These stumps are now being salvaged. Most of this salvaged wood has
been dried over a hundred years. The stumps often have burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some
stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots.
This burl wood has an amazing
amount of figured birdseye-- probably some of the highest
concentration of birdseye in any wood in the world. |
