Burl wood is one of the most favorite types of wood thanks to its timeless beauty, splendor, and ability to evoke emotions. Although burls are found worldwide, only 5% to 10% of trees have burls. Some of the most popular burls are Redwood Burl, Bigleaf Maple Burl, and Claro Walnut Burl.
Burls can be simply understood as knots on trees. They are grain characteristics caused by environmental stress like injury, fungus, viruses, insects, and other kinds of damage. Burlwood is a tree or a part of a tree that has a burl. The patterns of burlwood can vary from lace redwood, birds-eye maple, redwood burl, curly redwood, marbling to black walnut curl.
2. Why is Burl Wood a desirable piece of furniture?
Besides the ability to breathe emotions into your house through the beauty and splendor of the grain patterns, the uniqueness of each piece is also a reason for their scarcity. There are no two pieces with exactly the same characteristics. The older the burl pieces are, the more precious they are because old-growth ones have distinct coloration, burly grain, mineral staining, or voids, and no sapwood.
Another reason burlwood is highly sought after despite its costly price is that it is difficult to manipulate. Due to the twisted and interlocked nature, burlwood is very difficult to cut and whittle without splitting it. Once it splits, the entire project may be ruined.
Many people find an emotional connection to the redwoods in general and to burl wood slabs in specific. Using a piece of burl wood slab for furniture, we believe that you could bring a designer look to your home that will wow all your guests.
