A member of the Capital Area Woodturners, that I joined, ask if Redwood was too soft to make tops? I said I was not sure but sure could try, so he gave me two blocks of Redwood. I expect the second one to be a little better. It is very light and has a small wobble that I was able to reduce, but not get rid of it completely. I am not sure if I should hollow it less or try some sort of a weight ring.
