Maple Burl: The maple leaf is probably more closely associated with the image of Canada than any other symbol. The tree from which we derive our national symbol is the Sugar maple. There are nine other species of maple native to Canada: black, silver, bigleaf (or western), red, mountain, striped, douglas, vine, and Manitoba (or box elder). It’s fitting that at least one of the ten maple species can be found in each of the ten provinces. Sugar maple has an exciting variety of grain patterns. While the grain is often straight, it offers other variations, one of the most sought-after patterns is burl, which typically gives rich, ornate figuring throughout the wood. Blister, curly, bird’s-eye, fiddleback, and spalted are other styles of figured maple. A burl or burr is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. These growths produce a figure that is rare and beautiful, particularly sought after in turned and decorative objects.
