What Woods Are Red

Red-toned woods are some of the most unique and most unusual colored woods around. But that doesn’t mean that they are perfect when applied in all situations. Some colors clash with red and so a major piece of furniture that is red might not go properly in a particular room. People either put up with the clashing furniture or more likely get rid of it, replacing it with something that will match. But when that’s an heirloom piece of furniture, it can be hard to get rid of.

Identifying redwood can be tricky. Learn how to tell it apart from similar woods like cedar and fir using grain texture, weight, and finish behaviour. Visit BoldWallflowers.com for full details and photo comparisons!
