A Little History: Burl veneer production starts with the selection and harvesting of burls. Burls are found on trunks, or branches, of trees and are irregular growths that occur from either stress or injury. This burl wood is sliced into thin sheets using a large rotary slicer, revealing intricate grain patterns. The veneer sheets are then carefully dried, clipped, and finished to enhance their natural beauty.
