Wood
is not "burled"; there is no such action as burling -- despite what you may have read in certain automobile advertising. (Sorry to take this out on you; I've been saving this one up for a while !) Burls are whorls in the grain of wood, usually found in the form of growths exterior to the trunk (the bole) of a tree. These growths can be sliced into veneer, like ordinary bole wood.

What's next; "marbled" stone, or "transparented" glass ?
Sigh-ned, the Curmudgeon

Anyway. . .
can anyone answer ilikemike's question ?

My mistake. I thought design addict forum was about design. Thanks for the lesson nontheless.

Thanks
