 Black Box Burl from Australia. This one is rarely seen on the market. Density is extremely high but it sands well. As it dries (these are dry) tiny splits naturally develop all over the pieces next to every eye cluster. Some people leave the splits as a design element but I spent hours filling them all with superglue instead for this group. If you want to fill them, it is simple but takes a bit of time. We've done most of that already. For this type of burl expect to glue them inside once you get well under the surface. Otherwise leave the splits as a design element, the wood is very strong so should be no problem in not filling them if you don't want to . If you want shorter or smaller sizes we are still drying them but they are almost ready, inquire by email if you want us to check availability. Pieces not listed below or that give an out of stock notice in the cart are sold  Black Butt wood is a timber used quite a bit for flooring in Australia. It isn't seen much on the market outside of Australia. These pieces have nice figure. A one time offering, we have no more. The wood is quite hard but easy to sand.  These thicker pieces have been fully slow dried over many years. A wood that is nice to work, has great figure and changes appearance from every light angle. This makes the full extent of the figure hard to show in photos, you really need a video for something like this. A favorite of woodturners and other woodworkers for many years. ALL are GG+/GG grade Pieces not listed below or that give an out of stock notice in the cart are sold  An Extremely rare offering, these have been banned for export for a number of years, the few pieces you can still find online are selling for far more than our prices! NOTES:  NOTES: These Bowl blanks were cut from the same thick board. All are basically the same in figure, color etc. All have been carefully dried over years.  Some unusual burls for one time sale. NOTES: The American elm burl has been soaked in superglue which was then sanded off multiple times. You likely will have to glue it more on the inside but we really worked all the glue in we could from the outside. These were so extraordinary for elm I decided to put a couple hours+ additional work into them just to make them nice. We have no more elm like these, nor have I seen any for sale. The Gmelia burl is the last piece we have in the shop, and it is a very nice solid and pretty piece. Pieces not listed below or that give an out of stock notice in the cart are sold  Some of these burls, like white teak are very uncommon. Also the Cordia burl comes from the island of Vanuatu, this is not one we'll see again once it is gone. NOTES: Pieces not listed below or that give an out of stock notice in the cart are sold  Some very rare burls for sale. Shorea burl (or Sal burl) is used for ayurvedic medicine in India, and other extracts are used in the cosmetic industry. I have never seen another piece of this burl for sale in the USA, if you have tell us we'd like to know. Laos ironwood burl is very rare, note that Laos banned all timber exports about 6-7 years ago.
