Workability: Good workability for a burl. Fine texture takes finish well. The fumed coloring is consistent through the veneer thickness. Glues and finishes without difficulty.
Availability: Limited availability. Sourced from Europe, primarily England. Burl logs are uncommon and the fuming process adds lead time.
Grain Texture: Dense burl eyes and swirls over a fine, even base texture. The fuming process enhances the contrast between the burl figure and the surrounding wood, creating depth and movement.
Characteristics: English Harewood is Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) that has been fumed or dyed to produce a silvery-grey to greenish-grey color. The burl form adds dense eye figure to this classic British decorative veneer. A centuries-old tradition in English cabinetmaking.
