Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Laurel Burl is one of the most visually captivating exotic veneers in our inventory, prized for its intricate "cluster" patterns and rich, golden-to-reddish brown hues. Sourced from the Chilean Laurel tree, this burl offers a unique complexity that ranges from subtle, organic movement to intense, high-contrast "eyes." Because of its density and swirling grain, Laurel Burl is a favorite for high-end automotive dashboards, custom humidors, and bespoke furniture inlays.
Burl veneers are notoriously delicate due to their multidirectional grain and natural voids. To ensure a successful, professional-grade installation, all of our Laurel Burl sheets ordered online are backed with our 22.2-mil Bubble-Free (BFV) technology. This heavy-duty backer:
Stabilizes Intense Grain: Prevents the splitting and cracking common in raw burls.
Hides Substrate Flaws: The added thickness ensures a mirror-smooth finish, even over minor imperfections in your core material.
Simplifies Installation: Designed to resist bubbling and "checking" during the finishing process.
To help you select the exact aesthetic for your project, we categorize our Laurel Burl into three distinct figure intensities:
High Figure Laurel Burl: Dense, tight "eye" clusters across the entire sheet. This is the "statement" grade for maximum visual drama.
Medium Figure Laurel Burl: A sophisticated balance of burl clusters interspersed with elegant swirling grain.
Low Figure Laurel Burl: A more restrained look with scattered burl accents and more of the natural Laurel cathedral grain visible.
