Etymology

The term 'burled' originates from the word 'burl,' which refers to a growth on a tree that results from various environmental factors. Burls can develop in response to injury, disease, or genetic mutations, causing the wood to grow in an irregular pattern. The fascination with burls dates back many centuries, as craftsmen and artisans have recognized their unique and beautiful patterns. The word itself likely comes from the Middle English word 'burle,' which meant a swelling or knot on wood, reflecting the physical characteristics of the material. Over time, burled wood has gained recognition for its decorative qualities, often being used in the creation of high-end furniture and luxury items. Its rarity and distinctive look make it a sought-after choice for woodworking enthusiasts.
