AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
13 x 21 x 8,5 cm
10,5 x 7 x 7 cm
Both objects in very good condition
Thuja Burr or Thuja burl wood, originating from Morocco, is an exclusive wood species with an breath-taking pattern and very easy to work with. It is known for its warm color, complex grain pattern and pleasant scent, which makes it a favorite among artisans and artists. The structure is usually described as burl wood structure: irregular and gnarly.
Thuja Burl is harvested from the root knobs and galls of Tetraclinis articulata, also known as the Atlas Cedar or Moroccan Thuja. This wood grows mainly in the Atlas Mountains and is scarce. There is an export ban from Morocco by decree of the Moroccan king, but no import ban in the EU. Yet most (and best) Thuja wood comes from Morocco
Due to limited availability and labor-intensive harvesting, Thuja Burr is a very exclusive wood species that is primarily used for high-end luxury products.
