Description

Big leaf Maple Burl (Acer macrophyllum) has figure consisting of swirly, unpredictable grain patterns with light to dark variations of cream brown to dark brown color. Natural edges, bark inclusions and internal voids may be present and are not considered defects (in fact, they usually add character to a piece). Big leaf maple burl can be somewhat difficult to turn because of its unpredictable grain. It does, however, polish very nicely. It can create interesting turnings such as pens, bottle stoppers, bowls and ornaments. It is also great to cut into slices for clock making, or thin slabs for beautiful box tops. Air-dried. About Us: Founded in Boston in 1928, Woodcraft's operations were moved to Parkersburg, West Virginia in 1989. It's been over 90 years since Woodcraft first began selling high quality woodworking tools and supplies out of a one room shop in Boston's North End, and Woodcraft is still firmly committed to providing woodworkers with superior products and expert advice. We are America’s leading supplier of saws, planes, power tools, hand tools, wood stain and paint, routers, sanding, wood, kits, dust collection and more.

  • O.k. grain, not natural-edged, about 25% less usable wood than described
I'm a bit torn on this one. The usable part of the wood is beautiful. However the picture (and description) lists a 4x4 piece with a natural edge. Mine has about 4x3 of usable wood, then a giant U-shaped hole at the top (so probably another 4 inches or so of unusable wood). The hole has wood in it, but the wood in it isn't usable . . . and not attached to the hole. So unless I were to pot the entire thing in about $75 worth of epoxy, everything past 3 inches isn't able to be used, and it can't be used as a "natural edge" piece. Whoever cut and packaged this one should have not shipped it. However since shipping was nearly 50% of the cost of the wood itself, it isn't worth shipping back (I'd end up fully paying for the wood in the shipping costs anyway). To be fair, I've purchased a lot from Woodcraft and have been extremely happy with *everything* else. I'd just say that in the case of a natural-edged product, you either need to purchase it in person or see a picture of the *actual* piece you are getting. Had I seen this piece in the store I would have never purchased it. So I wouldn't give this as a warning not to purchase Woodcraft products, but I would suggest not taking the risk on this product. ... show more

  • Very Disappointed
Although it has a little burl it still wasn’t the size that was listed. You won’t get what is pictured. The block wasn’t square therefore it will have to be cut even smaller. Disappointing

  • it seems like it'll be a decent little bit of burl
Burl is a tough thing to buy online. My chunk came with a large bark inclusion, and one edge was missing a bit. Other than that, it seems like it'll be a decent little bit of burl. Very dry.

  • Dont buy this
I would recommend buying somewhere else if your looking for this type of wood. I am severely disappointed with what i got. They cut a square block and sent that so it has none of the natural burl. Worst thing i bought off amazon by far.i would have gave this zero stars if i could.

  • Not that great
Not that great of a burl, there were curly bits, but the other half of the wood was fairly straight grained.
