So far on the Oakwood Veneer Blog, we have highlighted several species of burl. However, there are still some that have not been highlighted and you can see from the pictures that these have very interesting patterns.
Here is some info about French Burl, Robel Burl, White Ash Burl, Myrtle Burl, and Praline Burl Veneer:
French Burl Veneer: French Burl is the premium version of Mappa Burl Veneer, as both come from the Black Poplar tree. it is a tan wood with tight clusters of medium to dark brown pillowy burl figure. Like most burl veneer species, it looks very elegant and stately, and would add a classy style to almost any type of project.
Robel Burl Veneer: Grown in Europe, this is a reddish tan to brownish red wood that has a bit more understated burl pattern than most other burls. The pattern is similar to Maple Burl but with less defined grain.
White Ash Burl Veneer: This is another understated burl, as it is a single tone blondish-tan look with light pillowy burl grain over the top. It is a great choice for those projects where one is looking to have a dignified style, but not be overly showy.
Myrtle Burl Veneer: Myrtle Burl looks quite a bit like Laurel Burl as they both have a yellow to blond look with tight clusters and a nice pattern. However, Myrtle Burl is usually a bit lighter in yellow than Laurel.
Praline Burl Veneer: This is one of the darkest burls available, in a deep dark reddish brown tone. Like Robel Burl, it is also similar to Maple Burl in grain pattern, but not in color. Praline burl can accent lighter non-burl veneers like cherry and mahogany, or other reddish varieties.
