What is burl used for?
1 Answer
Burl wood can be used in a number of different ways. The wood is sourced from growths on trees called burls and has an unusual pattern that differs from typical woodgrain. It is suitable for making solid and veneered furniture, gun socks, musical instruments and decorative accents for homes. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of burl wood furniture and decorative objects.
