What is Burr?

The production of wood veneer burr begins with the meticulous selection of trees that exhibit burr formations. These burrs, or burls, are unique growths that occur on the trunks or branches due to stress factors like injury, virus, or fungus. These formations result in highly figured wood with intricate and unique grain patterns. Harvesting the burr wood is carried out with precision to ensure the preservation of the detailed grain, which is essential for creating high-quality veneer.

Once the burr wood is harvested, it is carefully sliced into thin sheets. This slicing process requires expertise to maintain the integrity of the intricate patterns. The thin sheets are then dried and processed to stabilise the wood, ensuring it is suitable for use as veneer. Throughout the production, great care is taken to preserve the natural beauty and uniqueness of the burr, resulting in a veneer that showcases the wood's distinctive character and elegance.
