  • What is burled wood?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Burled wood is wood with a unique grain characteristic that results from harvesting a tree that has a burl. A burl is a tree growth often caused by injury, fungus, virus, or insects. The stress from the growth causes pressure on the wood and creates intense grain patterns.
  • What is a burl in wood?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A burl in wood is a growth on a tree formed from bud tissue that has not sprouted. The burl forms large, knobby-looking growths on the base and trunk of the tree. Every piece of burl wood is unique, which is one reason they are considered rare and valuable. They come in a variety of sizes and have varying wood textures and colors.

  • Is burl wood timeless?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Whether burl wood is timeless is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, burl wood became popular during the Art Deco and Regency eras, and furniture designers have continued to use it to produce pieces ever since then. This owes largely to the material’s range of organic shapes and knots, which add richness and distinct visual appeal. On 1stDibs, find a range of burl wood furniture.
  • How much is burl wood worth?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
