Burl wood is a type of wood used by artists to create sculptures and furniture. It is highly prized by artists because of its unique shapes and ring patterns. This wood is a type of fast growing, abnormal growth found on some trees. It grows because the tree has experienced some sort of environmental stress or damage, and it is often caused by either a fungal attack or an attack by insects. Burls are rare beautiful and highly prized. We have a magnificent collection of salvaged American burled wood. View our news page to see our most recent additions. The biggest Oak burl we have ever seen is in the wood yard, 33,000 pounds and entirely burled! Over 6 1/2 feet in diameter. It is truly a gift ready to grace your home.
