As North America’s leading manufacturer of domestic and exotic burls, Oakwood Veneer provides custom woodworkers, furniture makers, and architectural millwork shops with flat, stabilized, and flawlessly matched burl sheets. Experience nature’s most luxurious figures, kept in stock and ready to ship.
Engineered for Perfection. Sourced for Luxury.
The swirling, chaotic beauty of a natural burl is unmatched—but it is notoriously difficult to work with. Raw burl wood is naturally wavy, fragile, and prone to splitting. At Oakwood Veneer, we solve these problems before the wood ever reaches your shop floor.
Flat & Completely Stabilized
We process and condition our burls so they arrive flat, pliable, and ready for immediate pressing without the frustrating cracking or wrinkling typical of raw flitches.
100% Raw & Unfinished
Every single burl sheet we sell is shipped raw and unfinished. This gives your shop absolute control over the final presentation, letting you sand, stain, oil, or lacquer to meet exact custom matching specifications.
Massive In-Stock Inventory
With over 30 distinct types of burl wood veneer in stock at our Troy, Michigan headquarters, we fulfill and ship your orders immediately. No weeks of waiting on exotic figures while your project timeline slips.
Versatile Sizing & Backing Options
Available in standard 4'x8' sheets and larger custom dimensions. Choose from 10-mil paper, 22-mil (Bubble-Free), or 3M Peel & Stick backings to get the exact stability your project demands.
