Our Redwood Bar
Sometimes, a bar is more than just a bar. Woods Boss Brewing Company is home to a live edge bar made from ethically-sourced Redwood. Learn about our bar and why it means so much to us.
Our Redwood bar is a beautiful and ethically-sourced place to share our connectedness.
From Seedling To Giant
From a seed no bigger in size than a tomato seed, they grow as tall as 35 story buildings. Redwood tree roots are very shallow, often only five or six feet deep. But they make up for it in width, sometimes extending up to 100 feet from the trunk. They thrive in thick groves, where the roots can intertwine and even fuse together. This gives them tremendous strength against the forces of nature. Redwoods do not survive alone…ever. They form “tribes” or communities. Sometimes they grow so close to each other that they merge at the base into one tree. By intertwining their roots, they provide each other strength and support, living within each other's embrace. The entire system relies on their rooted connections.
Like the redwoods, people cannot thrive alone. While individuals sometimes need solitude for personal rejuvenation and creative pursuits, there are also times when we need friends and neighbors both old and new. Other people can help us to gather collective strength, see the world not only for what it is but for what it could be, and ultimately recognize our interconnectedness. At Woods Boss, we strive to embody that spirit of growth and community inherent in the redwoods. Our own communities are stronger when we embrace one another in a place that is welcome to all.
Where we get our ethically-sourced wood
At Woods Boss, it is important that we honor the natural resources and hands that make our space so unique. Our local and global communities are better when they commit to and nurture a sustainable vision. To that end, we sought out a wood supplier that would align with our values and desire to create a responsibly-sourced and beautiful space.
According to our supplier Redwood Burl Inc. of Arcata, California,:
“All our wood is ethically sourced, and we take great care to buy only from reputable sources. We cut all our slabs from long-dead stumps and logs left behind by previous logging operations, collected from private landowners. We always make sure we know the source of any wood we work with, and never use burls cut from live trees. The beautiful slabs you see on our website came from trees that were cut long ago. We also go a step further than many companies by ensuring that we process all our wood in safe facilities that provide workers with fair treatment, hours and wages.”

Ethical sourcing isn’t just a good business practice, it’s a commitment to our community and the environment.”
