Jarrah Burl from Australia
Jarrah Burl is one of the most beautiful and distinctive burls in the world, for two reasons. First, the burl has a great red color, and secondly, the burl formations themselves are unusual. They usually have tiny splits in the burl area which makes a really interesting texture on your piece---sometimes it almost looks like latticework. These pieces are the creme of the crop and have already been trimmed round, removing the unfigured areas (which can easily amount to 50% of the piece when you buy raw burls). They are also almost or completely air dried making them very stable for immediate use. It is now very hard to get this burl in this high quality, and supplies of it are very limited.
Teak Burl (Southeast Asia) tectonia grandis A RARE burl with very tiny burl eyes that look like black pepper surrounded by figured wood.
