burl wood chair

This one is way beyond what we'll be doing in class. I found this in a google image search. It's part of a blog dedicated to art chairs.

Hey Jill- Nice burl wood on that chair. I was asking Shannon about birds eye maple, and then burl wood the other day and she said burl is actually a tumor on the tree. It is beautiful though. The music stand is interesting too- kind of a modern take on a famous art nouveau piece I have seen, but using fallopian tubes instead of botanicals for a theme.
