[color:"orange"]A Burl is a wart-like excrescence growing on the roots, stems, or the branches of a tree.
Burls are not a disease, as trees may live with them for centuries. A burl is a result of a break in the cambium (growth) layer of the tree.
Instead of healing, the break sends out growth that forms the familiar burl shape.
Often the burl is filled with dormant buds that produce a "birds-eye" appearance.
Through the anomaly of burls,
many "plain" species of wood (e.g. redwood, box elder (Manitoba maple)) become much sought after in burl form. The wood of burls is often much harder than the normal wood of the tree. Burl wood is generally not strong, due to the swirling growth direction, which is further weakened by the many buds that usually develop within the burl. Due to instability of the wood, it is difficult to dry and process without much loss. Bark pockets are also sometimes present further reducing their usefulness. Despite these defects, burls are ever popular for turnings, novelties and furniture construction in the form of veneer.[/color]
as well as red/yellow cedar tables, end tables,clocks, etc. that can fetch $4-$5 hundred apiece.
