Ah didn't even think of that! I was hoping it was Vavona so it would match the rest of the interior, but this sure looks purdy!

Default that is Vavona...
[QUOTE=Dino1147;25191585]Redwood or something else?

[/QUO

and Vavona is the burl grain of the Redwood tree. It has MANY different looks to its grain pattern. Some of it is like Bird's Eye maple, other pieces are quite more of a pattern grain, and some more like a traditional burl.
