Maple Burl
This high-quality burl wood comes from North America. It comes from the Oregon maple, a rare species of maple. Large root burls, which are used for the production of burl veneers, are rare, which often results in smaller veneers. It is a durable and robust wood.
It is characterized by its unique, often wavy or swirling patterns. The grain not only gives the wood an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also makes it a popular material for high-quality furniture, musical instruments, and handicrafts.
Working with curly maple is difficult due to the unusual wood structure. Sharp tools, calmness, and caution are required to achieve good results. Drying must be carried out slowly and gently to avoid surface cracks or warping.
