Trade Name : nMyrtle Burl, Pepperwood, Laurel n nOrigin : nNorth America n nUses : nHigh quality architectural woodwork, also used for furniture. n nProperties : nSince the Myrtle develops a dark heart, differentiation has to be made between those veneers without heart, which are yellowish in color, and those having a dark brown heart. This is why Myrtle Burl is also frequently stained to enable both forms to be used. The aromatic odour of the wood is most apparent. n nJointing : nGlue joints hold well. Screw joints hold firmly but should be pre-drilled.
