Madrone

(Madrone veneer on left, Madrone burl on right)

Madrone or Madrona (Arbutus Menziesii) are large tress that grow naturally along bluffs and coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle neighborhoods. The wood is pink to orange in color, with the burl often being very figured. It has many uses in furniture and the burl is striking when turned into bowls or vessels.

NWFW does not sell wood; only items made from wood. Please see our links page for wood retailers. If you would like detailed information on specific woods used in any of our items, please contact us.

Northwest Fine Woodworking encourages the use of woods from sustainable yield resources.
