Information:
Totara is a medium to large tree that grows throughout the North Island and northeastern South
Island of New Zealand. The wood is very hard and has a reddish
color. Occasionally the tree has a burl that
makes a growth in which the grain is radically deformed because of
some stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots and swirly
figure.
This wood is somewhat rare and is highly sought after by wood
turners. The Totora Burl used in my knives comes from the North
Island of New Zealand and has Birdseye
and nice swirly figure with cracks/crevices.
Box Elder is a fast growing tree that was often planted as a shade tree and for windbreaks. The wood is plain but sometimes Box Elder produces a burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots. This burl wood is highly figured. The Box Elder Burl I use in my knives comes from a storm-damaged tree that was part of the original trees planted during the Mormon migration to Utah. This particular piece has lots of figure and provides a nice contrast to the New Zealand Totara Burl. |
