What is Burl Veneer?
Burl is a rare wood growth on a tree, usually found at the base of the trunk or where the tree has undergone some form of stress. Instead of a typical straight grain, the growth results in thousands of tiny knots and swirls, creating an incredibly dense and complex grain pattern. When this burl is sliced into veneer, it reveals these stunning, intricate patterns, making it one of the most decorative and valuable wood materials available.
Burl veneer is the preferred choice for projects that demand a dramatic focal point, from custom-built musical instruments and classic dashboards to luxury cabinetry and heirloom furniture. Its visual depth and warmth bring a sophisticated and opulent feel to any space, making it a true testament to natural beauty and craftsmanship.
