This is a striking live-edge board of Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii), a highly valued hardwood native to the Pacific Northwest. The wood displays the classic warm peach and rose hues of madrone heartwood, complemented by a swirling, organic grain pattern that adds movement and visual interest. One full-length live edge adds rustic charm, with bark that is well-attached and showcases classic scaly-and-smooth madrone bark textures.
The live edge of this board undulates in and out. Board width ranges from 6" to 7.5". This is a rough-cut board which still has sawmarks and rippled texture on top and bottom surface. It has been carefully air-dried to a stable 10–12% moisture content, making it well-suited for indoor woodworking. There are two knots in the board which you may wish to fill or stabilize with CA glue. One of the knots is branch-filled; the other is mostly open. These are typical in madrone and contribute to its natural character. The grain swirls beautifully around these features.
This board offers excellent versatility -- ideal for use as an art plaque, statement shelf, charcuterie board, or small furniture feature. It could also be resawn or cut down for a variety of other uses such as turning spindles, segmented turning, knife scales, or contrasting strips in cutting boards.
