Burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It results from a tree undergoing some form of stress caused by an injury, virus or fungus. It yields a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty and rarity.
I am excited to say we are having a custom bed made from old burl cabinet doors! We recently purchased a king tempura-pedic mattress when our current queen bed started folding up like a taco and burrito'ing us in the middle of the night! We couldn't take the restless and sleepless nights NO MORE
Burl can be an amazing adjective and statement to any room if done right and stained correctly. Here are some different burl species from box elder to maple.
Let's just say we're not keeping it natural or traditionally stained!
