Quite simply, Burlwood composes burl furniture. But what is a burl? Well, an abnormal growth found on trees is a burl. They range from very small slabs to giant pieces of burl wood. The largest burls occur in coastal redwood, Sequoia Sempervirens, right here on the northern California coast.

Live Edge Furniture Slabs

Because all burl slabs are pieces of nature, they all have a beautiful live edge. Of course, you can choose to square off a piece, but straight out of the forest they have a natural, intricate edge. A good example of a live edge is highly sought after, such as this piece. Any piece can be taken to a new level by including a live edge into your furniture design.

Our services include sanding, finishing, and transforming any of our pieces into beautiful burl furniture. We have multiple finish options and can assist with caring for and maintaining your piece.
