All About Wood Burls Including the Crime Scene Connection

A wise old woodworker once told me that wood burls were the gemstones of woodworking because they were hard to find, beautiful to look at and each one is unique, and I have come to believe him because I have only stumbled upon a few burls in my lifetime and I want to fully use each one of them. Burls are highly sought after by wood turners for bowls, pen blanks and more, but for furniture makers, the most sought after (and probably most expensive) wood is burl wood, and most of that comes from Burl Veneers, where we can get the most coverage with the lease amount of waste. But there are other things we can use burl wood for, like door and drawer pulls, inlays on guitars and other musical instruments, highlights and a details on all kinds of furniture with inlays like leaves, flowers, birds or even strips of burl for edging or facing boxes like jewelry boxes all made from thin burl pieces, but somehow I think there must be more and I am looking for ideas and thoughts on using burl wood and would love to hear other peoples ideas and suggestion in the comment section.
