A burr is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner either due to stress, injury or disease to the tree (and does not occur in all types of trees). It gives it this beautiful swirling grain which is highly sought after and very difficult for master craftsman to work with.

Pieces made of solid burr wood are extremely rare and to find a single piece like this table top is an example of that. It would have come from a large outgrowth on a huge tree and is a very sought after piece of wood.

English, 19th century.
