Re: Redwood?

My experience with it has been that it is quite warm.
I have never done a mahogany with a redwood top before, although I am pretty certain that the characteristics of the mahogany will prevail.

I used to do some stuff that was Maple sandwiched between the redwood burl.

The redwood lace burl was beautiful stuff and mellowed out the maple a bit.
