Teak Burl — 40x40x300 — TKS01

Teak Burl combines the legendary durability and natural oils of Teak with the extraordinary swirling figure of burl growth. The result is a spindle blank of real distinction — warm golden-brown tones shot through with darker figuring, tight burl eyes, and a natural lustre that polishes beautifully without heavy finishing. A timber with genuine presence on the lathe.
