Figure Types & Features

Natural growth irregularities within trees can produce stunning decorative effects when the logs are sliced using a particular method. Burrs (known as burls in America) come from growths that form on trees caused by the loss of a branch or wound to the bark.

The term figured is the most commonly used to describe particularly interesting grain pattern but Fiddleback describes a more pronounced/regular pattern while curl is more open/less obvious.

Heavy Birds Eye	Cluster	Burr

The "eye" shape, tiny pithy explosions tightly packed are most commonly found in Maple	Small tight clusters of knots sporadically appearing in the tree growth create a highly decorative effect	Flat slicing abnormal growth sections within the tree trunk produces highly irregular veneer grain markings

Curl	Fiddleback	Pommele

The curl cloud pattern created by slicing the trunk before an intersection is most effective when layed in a quarter pattern	Viewing fiddleback sapele from different angles transforms the surface appearance	Pommele is used to describe a velvety mottled appearance

Quilted	Crotch

Extraordinary shapes in quilted maple give the effect of mecury running across the panel	Crotch wood is cut from the junction between trunk and branch creating random grain direction
