Maple Burl
Quilted Maple Burl comes from the Bigleaf Maple tree that grows in the Pacific Northwest. I love the wiggly grain effect, which comes from the way this wood is flat-sawed to distort the natural grain.
Mappa Burl
Mappa Burl gets imported from Europe and has a peppered, two-tone effect with tight dark clusters.
Olive Ash Burl
Maybe the trippiest of the burl wood species.
Ash Tamo
One of the rarest and most sought after burls, with a quilted, almost three dimensional looking grain. IRL there’s a slight sheen.
Carpathian Elm Burl
Carpapthian Elm trees have pink and brown tones and the grain is so rich and dimensional it feels like marble.
Myrtle Burl
I call this one nature’s tie-dye, with wide, alternating swaths of camel and taupe colors.
Karelian Burl
Karelian Burl is a type of Birch tree that grows near Russia. Its flame-like grain pattern is specific to this type of Burl and totally gorgeous.
Maple Burl 2
Maple Burl has a toasted tone to it that makes me think of Maple syrup.
Oak White Burl
The Oak tree is a traditional American material and its Burl looks like a Rorschach test.
Ash White Burl
Ash White Burl from Ash trees has a fossilized look to it, accented with specks of dark.
Madrone Burl
Madrone is known as the Strawberry Tree due to its natural pink and red cast. The striations in the grain have a tiger’s eye vibe.
Redwood Burl Vavona
Redwood trees, also known as Sequias, are enormous with burls growing at the root and casting red.
