Is a Burl harder to turn than normal wood?

[-] Spacebar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Burl can break apart more easily because bark inclusions are often a problem. So that makes it more difficult sometimes. The wood is not really any harder or softer than other wood.

The grain is absolutely gorgeous.
