Briar Burl from Turkey---Griffin Exotic Wood

Griffin Exotic Wood

Briar Burl
(erica arborea)

These burls come from the Briar bush in Turkey. The grain is ultra fine and this is the wood traditionally used for making smoking pipes. Beautiful figured grain and color. There will be some bark inclusions and rock inclusions are possible. A very hard wood, but weighs lighter than you would expect, making this a unique turning wood that is also relatively inexpensive for a burl. This particular rough burl is available for our free shipping offer mentioned on the home page.

The picture above shows a piece cleaned up on the table saw and ready for turning. It also shows the appearance of briar burl after finishing. The color turns orange red and deepens on exposure. The following are one-of-a-kind whole burls with "lumpy" exteriors. They are "roundish" and can be turned or cut into pieces. These pieces are highly figured inside. They may contain rocks. Dig them out before turning (see rock divet in pictured piece above.) Be sure to wear protective gear in case a rock flies out during turning. All rough burls below are priced at 6.00 per pound based upon original weight before drying. They lose some weight in our shop before shipping due to drying.
