Wooden Jewelry Boxes: Oak Burls for That Sophisticated Look
Wooden jewelry boxes have an unbelievable charm about them in addition to their durability. Not only is it a safe place for expensive jewelry, it also serves as a showcase and a topic of conversation. Creating jewelry boxes from straight wood is relatively easy but making something from burl wood will need some skill.
A variety of trees have burls, like oak, maple, mahogany, walnut and others. When trees are stressed, it results in burls growing in the form of an additional growth. Buds of trees when injured form burls and these are covered by the bark of the tree.
In order to keep the pattern of the burl intact, the tree will have to be cut carefully. Spots above and below the burl are marked off and only then is the tree cut. The burl is then removed from the bark and opened up carefully to preserve the pattern. Once the burls are milled they will need to be harvested.
Burls can be pretty expensive irrespective of the wood they come from. Veneers are made of these as well. Since they have an indefinite shape, some burls are easy to work with and others need experience and skill in order to create something special.
Common oak burl colors are red, white, and black.
Among all the varieties, it is only the American oak burl that be stained. Choosing a color from this wide range becomes difficult as each one is extraordinarily beautiful. Innovative designs can be cut into these burls with some specialized machinery.
The shape and size of the box created will depend on the uniqueness of the grain and the live edges. Boxes made from oak burl can be medium sized at best and no larger. The basic characteristics of burl wood are the main reason for this. In burl wood, the grain is irregular and there are also some voids in it.
Seasonal wood movements too influence the size of the box to be created. Oak burl is hardwood, despite which it can easily be worked on with the right kind of tools. Mitered joints are a unique way of making high quality and strong oak burl boxes. These can be easily used with a spline and some rabbet joints.
A soft lining is placed in all burl boxes to help protect the precious ornaments that are stored in them. Thanks to its rarity, oak burl can be expensive. The effort that goes into creating something unique from this kind of wood is what adds to its price. Oak burls are a style statement.
So go right ahead and make a statement of your own with one of these sophisticated boxes.
