Buckeye burl (Aesculus californica) is the burl wood of a tree native to California that is a close relative of the European horse chestnut. The wood of these burls is infused with a fungus (Ascomycetes sp.) producing gray-blue color, which makes it look very interesting and like a stone, almost marble-like. The wood resembles poplar and willow wood in its characteristics, so it is rather light and soft, its color can range from creamy-whitish to a typical pale yellow to blue-gray-anthracite. The burl wood is very finely figured, always multicolored and with very beautiful color gradients one of the most beautiful burl woods we have. Wood may have been moisturized for realistic colours.
