ABOUT
As previously discussed in the post on the definition of burl, burl is a rare find as it is a deformity of a tree. Therefore, it would make sense that a painted burl would be a smaller area. For example, an entire door wouldn’t be made of burl. Burl is found on furniture, marquetry, and other small areas.
