The story

How this piece came to be

Burl is the best material a turner can have: the figure reveals itself with every pass of the tool, and you never know in advance what you'll find inside.

About the species

Burl a growth on a trunk or root

A burl is a growth on a tree's trunk or root in which the fibers twist in every direction. It gives the most complex figure wood can have, and it cannot be grown on purpose: every burl is an accident decades in the making.
