Elm Carpathian Burl

Carpathian Elm Burl comes from the Carpathian mountians, in France. It is a rich looking wood varying in color from pale pinkish to white with brown or black pecking and cluster markings. A Burl originates from a growth or disease, such as Dutch Elm Disease, which can cause clusters,dormant rings and eyes with a swirl grain or muscle surrounding the Burl. Burls in general are highly prized for veneer production. Elm Burl veneer is typically used in high quality architectural wood working, high class furniture, automobile interiors and as accents and inlays.
