When I started working at Goby, I didn’t know that Oregon Black walnut even existed. I thought that walnut wood came from walnut trees, and that was it.
Figured hardwood. Curly maple. Quilt. Spalted, fiddleback, or even flame- if you’ve heard any of these terms before but didn’t know what they meant, keep reading. Today, we’re going to talk about figure.
Historically speaking, an addition of burl to a custom-made item was usually seen as a sign of wealth or opulence. Plus, it’s just really beautiful wood.
