Rare & Exotic Masur Birch Planks

Masur birch, also known as Karelian birch or Karelian masur birch, is a distinctive and prized wood native to the forests of Finland, Russia, and parts of Scandinavia. What sets masur birch apart is its remarkable appearance, characterized by intricate patterns and figuring caused by irregular growth patterns and burls on the tree’s trunk. These unique patterns create a mesmerizing display of swirling grains, knots, and whorls, making each piece of masur birch truly one-of-a-kind.

What’s it used for?
