Laurel Burl
Trade Name :

Quite popular for architectural interior woodwork and decorative single furniture, however, mainly on the American continent. In the mid 90’s the automobile industry discovered Laurel Burl as an alternative to Myrtle Burl. Since then, larger quantities have been exported to Germany for dashboard productions there. If it is well-burled, the dark part generally gets bleached and is then dyed to the desired colour.

The good qualities are of a light-yellow colour and have tight and decorative burls with very prominent eyes. Extremely decorative surfaces can be put together when dark and light parts of the wood are arranged accordingly.
