Ash burl
Wood species / Trade name:
Ash burl, White ash burl
Names:
- German: Esche Maser
- French: Loupe de Frêne Blanc
- Chinese: 白栓树榴
Botanical name:
Fraxinus excelsior
Character / Color:
Because neither the burls arrayed in groups nor the wavy annual rings are prominent, the observer is presented with a beautifully delicate pattern reminiscent of fine marble. The mellow atmosphere created by the wood is emphasized by the pale beige-yellow tones of the veneer. Small to medium knots are often seen. Pure burls are rare in this variety; they are more often seen in ash cluster or olive ash burl.
