Burl furniture is a trademark of true-handcrafted custom natural wood furniture. Our expert furniture makers consider burl wood highly prized components in any natural wood furniture design. Although burls happen in trees worldwide, we prefer to use highly figured burl wood slabs found in the USA’s Pacific Northwest. These are highly sought after by furniture makers and DIY woodworkers alike in crafting their burl furniture. Some of the more popular are Redwood Burl, Bigleaf Maple Burl, and Claro Walnut Burl, but it can also be pricey as burl happens in only 5% to 10% of trees. We prefer to use ethically sourced wood harvested from dead standing trees or logs and root systems left behind on the forest floor by the turn of the century loggers.
