Burl wood is a general term for certain cut of the wood near the root or at the root section. There are several kinds of burl, some being more expensive than others. Burl, being a small section of certain variety trees, is scarce in its availability and is a costly wood since the time of ancient China. It has long been treasured by Chinese wood workers. It was often used only for the small surface areas of furniture made with other hardwoods.
