curly redwood

I went down to the old water tank place to get some more redwood a while back as I find redwood has a really nice tone, and before something makes it disappear from the water tank place.   I figured I would get enough to last me for a long time.  I bought a couple of planks, and had them leaning up in the garage.  It was a about 2 weeks later (maybe they dried out a little bit) that I looked at the big plank, and realized that the banding on the plank was not surface stains, but was the result of the redwood being curly!  I have now milled out some of this wood, and have started to make some tops.  I think it is going to be fabulous.
