Properties :
Main quality criteria for Oak Burl is the ingrown bark which is found almost on every tree. The quality of the veneer is all the better the less ingrown bark there is because it is less expensive to process then. Logs without ingrown bark are extremely rare.

Glue joints are strong and durable. Screw and nail joints hold firmly but can cause discoloration in the wood through the effects of moisture.
