What is burl?
Burl is a rare, abnormal growth that forms on a tree in response to stress, injury, or disease. Instead of straight grain, burl produces tight swirls, eyes, and complex figure, making it highly prized for high-end furniture, decorative inlay, and premium turned objects like pens.
What size are the blanks?
Each blank measures a minimum of 3/4" × 3/4" × 3-1/4", ideal for projects like ornaments, memory pendants and key rings. This size provides ample material for drilling, turning, and trimming. The blanks shown in the photo have been sanded to highlight the figure and are representative only. Your blanks will be selected at random and may vary in colour, figure, and pattern.
Price is per pack in Canadian dollars.
