Burls/Crotches

Burls and Crotches

These exotic figured veneers come in odd shaped pieces, measure approximately 10" x 10", slightly larger on some species. To veneer large surfaces they must be matched and taped together. Allow 50% waste for matching and use poplar crossbanding underlay for stability. Note: Use our PressBond or plastic resin glues when working with any burls, crotches, or other
highly figured raw veneers. DO NOT USE CONTACT CEMENT FOR THESE TYPES OF VENEERS.

Burls and Crotches are sold by the square foot.

Calculating square footage:  Square footage can be calculated with the following formula:
Sq. ft. = Length (in inches) x width (in inches) divided by 144.
Example: A piece of veneer that measures 6" wide and 3 feet long would be calculated as follows: 6 x 36 =216 divided by 144 = 1.5.  This piece of veneer measures a total of 1-1/2 square feet.
