    How much wood would a Merc Park chuck if a Merc Park could chuck wood?

            but what kind of burl? there are many different kinds. any type of wood can be burl. a burl is just a twist or swirl in the grain of the wood. I have seen several maple, oak, and cherry burls.
            What happened here?

                Burls don't even have to be made of wood. I mean, look at Burl Ives - he wasn't wood!

                  Doh!! another level of confusion.

                  I want to redo my center console in a wood that matches my dash.

                          Where's the thread where turbo talks about the real-wood treatment he's beginning on his dash?

                            Walnut burl? Turbo has some decent pictures of the dash wood, and a project he is working on.

                              The wood they are trying to duplicate on the dash of a grand marquis is burrled walnut. It is a bit lighter than mine but it is close in some areas. I dint have a choice of looking over severl sections to match it up. Verry expensive but i got some that ws left over from a custom table that a fiend built for one of his customers.
