ALES of redwood are not necessarily limited to large projects such as fences, decks, pool and spa surrounds. Many dealers are successful in selling a good amount of redwood for smaller, woodshop-type projects.

Plans for simple projects suited to the capabilities of the weekend craftsman are readily available. Most woodworking project books have numerous designs suitable for redwood.
