Burl

Our selection of burls contain some of the rarest species. We have in stock species of tropical hardwoods from Peru that have not been imported previously, Myrtle burls from the California coast and Black Walnut from the central valleys. We offer burls as whole boules as well as processed into many other sizes. Burls are all uniquely shaped abnormal growths that can occur on any part of a tree. Some burls form only on the roots while other form high up in the forest canopy. Burls make wonderful tables or art forms when finished in their natural shapes. Cut and turned they make some of the most spectacular bowls and vessels. Burl woods are especially used for fine veneers for exotic automoble dashboards, boat building, musical instruments and fine funiture making.
