ASH, OLIVE

---

my samples:


olive ash burl veneers with pretty accurate color --- I have been told anecdotally that "olive ash burl" is a designation given to ugly ash burl at the outside of a burl. All I know from direct experience is that veneer sold as ash burl has the appearance of a very high-grain flat cut figure whereas that sold as "olive ash burl" may be just the swirl figure (as in these samples directly above), but more typically has the eyes normally associated with a burl figure (see many samples directly below), and is indeed frequently what I think most of us would agree is ugly.


olive ash burl veneer book matched pair, slightly more rich and golden than the real wood.
