Masur Birch

__________________________________

Masur Birch (Betula alba) click on photo for back view Also called Alpine Burl or Karelian Burl after the Finnish province of Karelia where it is often found. The high figure found in this wood is caused when the tree heals the damage done by an invasive boring beetle. The beetle infestation leaves the trees stunted and sometimes deformed but produces wood with small twists and swirls that highlight the darker, burly figure. Rare. #W20272A 1 ½ x 6 ¾-9 ¼ x 27 ¾" $146.25 #W20272B-sold 1 9/16 x 5 ½-9 ¼ x 29 ½" $137.00
