Poplar Burl Bowl Blank 180 x 85mm

Poplar burl is a highly sought-after wood for woodturning due to its unique and striking figuring. Burls form when the tree undergoes stress, causing the grain to twist and swirl in unpredictable, beautiful patterns. The result is a rich tapestry of natural designs, including eyes, waves, and curly grains, making each piece of poplar burl truly one-of-a-kind. Poplar trees are commonly found in North America, Europe, and Asia, and their burls develop on the trunk or branches. The burls often exhibit a variety of colors ranging from creamy whites to light browns, sometimes with streaks of darker tones, adding depth to the finished product. Poplar burl is easy to work with, making it an excellent choice for woodturners looking to craft bowls, pens, or other decorative pieces. Its moderate hardness and fine texture allow for smooth cuts and a polished finish, enhancing the natural figuring that makes it stand out.
