Questions About Burl Wood Chess
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A burl in wood is a growth on a tree formed from bud tissue that has not sprouted. The burl forms large, knobby-looking growths on the base and trunk of the tree. Every piece of burl wood is unique, which is one reason they are considered rare and valuable. They come in a variety of sizes and have varying wood textures and colors. Find a collection of antique and vintage burl wood furniture on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Burled wood is wood with a unique grain characteristic that results from harvesting a tree that has a burl. A burl is a tree growth often caused by injury, fungus, virus, or insects. The stress from the growth causes pressure on the wood and creates intense grain patterns.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Whether burl wood is timeless is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, burl wood became popular during the Art Deco and Regency eras, and furniture designers have continued to use it to produce pieces ever since then. This owes largely to the material’s range of organic shapes and knots, which add richness and distinct visual appeal. On 1stDibs, find a range of burl wood furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    A burl wood table is a piece of furniture crafted out of wood burls, growths on trees that have unique grain patterns. Because of the character of the wood, no two are ever completely identical. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of burl wood tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    Burl wood's worth depends on the quality and the size of the wood. Depending on the size and condition, a larger-eyed burl would cost around $25 to $200. Layered burls are not of much value. On 1stDibs, find a range of alluring antique and vintage burl wood furniture today.
