Alder - Box Burl - Handle Blocks - Dyed/Stabilized

Transform your next custom knife, firearm grip, or specialty handle project with the striking beauty of Presentation Grade Alder Box Burl. Known for its intricate grain patterns, swirling figure, and natural character, alder burl creates truly unique handles that stand out from ordinary hardwoods.

 

Each block is individually selected for exceptional visual appeal and then professionally dyed and resin stabilized under pressure. The stabilization process deeply infuses the wood with resin, increasing durability, improving dimensional stability, and enhancing machining characteristics. The result is a premium handle material that cuts, shapes, sands, and polishes beautifully while showcasing the dramatic figure that makes burl wood so desirable.

 

These oversized blocks provide ample material for a wide variety of projects. Most makers can easily yield two or more thick handle scale sets from a single block, making them an excellent choice for custom knives, firearm grips, tool handles, and other one-of-a-kind creations.

 

Because burl wood is naturally unique, no two blocks are exactly alike. Each variation features its own distinctive grain structure, color distribution, and figure pattern, ensuring your finished project is truly one of a kind.

 

Please note that the images shown for each variation are the actual block being sold.
