California Red Wood Spindle 300 x 40 x 40mm

These trees are the tallest trees on earth and there stunning timber is sort after by many but hard to get.  This pieces comes locally from a downed tree located in the Yarra Valley. 

All this magnificence in height, and yet a typical redwood's root system is only 6 to 12 feet deep. Redwoods create the strength to withstand powerful winds and floods by extending their roots outwards, up to 100 feet wide from the trunk, and living in groves where their roots can intertwine.
