Walnut Burl Veneer - Medium Figure

Walnut Burl Veneer Sheets: Medium Figure Series

Medium Figure Walnut Burl offers the perfect middle ground for craftsmen who want the prestigious look of burl without the overwhelming intensity of "heavy" or "high" figure. These sheets feature a sophisticated balance of swirling "eyes" and clusters interspersed with softer, elegant grain transitions. This makes Medium Figure Walnut Burl an ideal choice for larger surfaces like dining tables, desk tops, and architectural wall panels where a balanced, repeatable aesthetic is required.

Characteristics of our Medium Figure Grade

• Refined Patterning: Features consistent burl clusters spread across the sheet, avoiding large "dead" spots while maintaining a harmonious flow.

• Warm Tonal Depth: Natural chocolate and espresso hues that respond beautifully to oils, lacquers, and traditional hand-rubbed finishes.

• Structural Stability: Our 10-mil and 20-mil paper-backed options provide the flexibility needed for curved surfaces without the risk of splintering common in unbacked burls.

Why Choose Medium Figure?

While High Figure is often used for small accents or automotive dashboards, Medium Figure Walnut Burl is the "workhorse" of luxury woodworking. It provides enough visual interest to serve as a focal point but remains subtle enough to be used across multiple sequence-matched panels without appearing cluttered.

Available Backer Options:

• 10-Mil Paper Back: Perfect for flat surfaces and standard cabinetry.

• 20-Mil Paper Back: Added thickness to hide minor substrate imperfections.

• PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive): Ideal for applying directly over existing smooth finishes—just peel and stick.

Shipping & Availability: All Medium Figure sheets are sequence-matched and kept in a climate-controlled warehouse to prevent curling or cracking. Orders typically ship within 24–48 hours.
