Buckeye (Burl)
Scientific name: Aesculus californica
Description: Colours range from blue-black to golden whites with a nice mixture in between. Can have grayish streaks. Buckeye burl can feature reddish-brown knots, with light to dark gray swirls of discoloring. Buckeye will commonly have bark incursions, live edges, and voids in burl eyes.
Properties: Buckeye is generally easy to work, but its unusually low density can lead to fuzzy surfaces, similar to aspen or cottonwood. Responds poorly to steam bending. Glues and finishes well.
