Everywhere I look, I'm seeing burl wood these days. What is burl? Basically it's deformed your-momma-tree-must-have-been-hitting-the-sap-a-little-too-hard wood but damn if it isn't just gorgeous. It creates a swirling pattern that is reminiscent of a tortoiseshell or animal print. It lends a luxuriousness to even the most basic of furniture designs and brings an unexpected texture to case goods. It's no wonder Milo Baughman was such a fan. And if Milo was a fan, I'm a fan too.
Here are some of my favorite examples of burl wood in design. Just try to go on with your life now after seeing these:
