IRISH OAK BURR (BURL)

This amazing brown Irish Oak Burr #1767 & #1768 came from the Shanes Castle in Antrim, Northern Ireland and is FSC certified. The castle stands on the northwest corner of the Lough Neagh. It was so big it had to be cut in half to move it and get it into a container to be shipped to our yard. It yielded small and large flitches and everything in between. It has beautiful burl figure with good color and was all cut to 10/4 thickness. It is on sticks drying now. This huge oak burr has plenty of history. If it could only tell the stories.

Irish Oak Burl and Sam Talarico

English Brown Oak – “Quercus robur“

Quartersawn English brown oak veneers & solid lumber up to 10/4, including tight grained, old growth & pippy brown oak. These logs are hand picked for good color & texture. Brown Oak is caused by the beefsteak fungus, Fistulina hepatica, when it attacks European oaks and turns the wood brown. It grows in about 1 out of every 500 Quercus robar and Quercus petraea oak trees in England and France. The “brown oak” that results from it’s growth in oaks has traditionally been the only sort of oak used in fine European furniture.
