Asian Iron Burl
Iron Burl is a Southeast Asian wood species that is rich in color with deep hues of orange, red, and golden luster. In fact, it is very similar to Southeast Asian Amboyna Burl in density and workability, but is several shades lighter in color. This medium grained hardwood has good gluing properties. It takes a high natural polish and has good workability with sharp tools. This species is extremely rare and highly prized, rarely being exported from Laos due to its popularity in the country.
