Sandblasting A 1,000 Year Old Redwood Root

Sandblasting wood is one technique used to bring out the grain and restore the wood to its former beauty. The basic idea here is that the sand has a more significant effect on the soft part of the wood’s grain than it does on the hard part. So it will carve out the softer part, leaving the hard grain. The effect is similar to using a wire brush on the wood but considerably better in that the grain left is even more pronounced. Matt's Woodworks had this GL Reserve piece sandblasted to get it ready for all the hard work at his shop. Any guesses as to what he’s making with this redwood root? #LiveedgeSlabs #WoodSlabs #Liveedgewoodslabs #RedwoodRoot
