Phantom Maple Burl Board 430mmx160mmx42mm

Phantom Maple Burl is a rare and highly sought-after wood prized for its dramatic figure, swirling grain patterns, and rich tonal variations. Typically sourced from North America — particularly Canada and the northern United States — Phantom Maple burls form as unique growths on maple trees, often hidden beneath the bark or at the base of the trunk. In woodturning, Phantom Maple Burl is celebrated for its stunning visual impact and excellent workability. Its dense yet manageable structure allows for smooth cutting and shaping on the lathe, making it ideal for crafting intricate bowls, pens, handles, and fine decorative pieces. The natural voids and eye-catching burl figure often enhance the final piece, offering opportunities for creative inlays or resin fills. Turners appreciate its stability, the beautiful finish it takes, and the uniqueness each piece offers — no two blanks are ever alike. Whether polished to a high gloss or left with a more natural finish, Phantom Maple Burl elevates any project into a work of art.
