Indonesian Coffee Burl Wood Goddess

A Burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds.

A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress. It may be caused by an injury, virus or fungus. However, Burls yield a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty by many; its rarity also adds to its expense. It is sought after by furniture makers, artists, and wood sculptors.



This is a hand carved goddess made from Indonesian Coffee Burl wood. She measures about 3" long, and has been buffed and oiled with Linseed oil.
