Wood burls grow as warty deformities on a tree trunk or branch that has suffered particular stress. Their exact cause is unknown. Although their natural appearance is not particularly attractive, when cut for use they reveal an incredible variety of texture in the grain that produces stunning results. Some types of trees and some areas produce far more burls than others. The various maples, including some species of buckeye, are particularly prolific producers of burls in some parts of their range.
Buckeye burl is highly prized for the beautiful pattern of burl eyes, swirls and other figure. Spalting of the wood transforms it from the off white color to a mixture of off white with grey blue or purple. Ambers and other colors sometimes also occur. The wood is somewhat unstable when drying and usually cracks and distorts quite a lot. For this reason, this piece is stabilized.
Wood is a natural material. The appearance and amount of figure varies from one piece to the next.
