The sawn timber may contain separate natural characteristics inherent to burr wood. Kiln-dried (KD) boards with a moisture content (MC) of 8–10% have a thickness of 32 mm and 52 mm. Self-collection from our warehouse and shipping across Ukraine are available. Available for purchase from 1 piece. ## Characteristics of Extra Grade Edged Burl Poplar Board The grade of the board is a classification of sawn timber based on the natural features of the wood: the number and type of knots, the presence of cracks or sapwood, and the uniformity of texture and colour. Grade primarily determines the aesthetic qualities of the material, not the basic physical-mechanical properties. Given the same species and correct moisture content, the grade has almost no effect on the strength of the board. **Features of Extra (Premium) Grade Boards:** - Elite timber with a clean surface: uniform texture and homogenous colouring. - Knots, sapwood, cracks, or sharp colour changes are not permitted. - This is the material for furniture facades, wall panels, and other interior items where visual perfection is required. ## Characteristics of Grade 1 Edged Burl Poplar Board When determining the lumber grade, the natural characteristics of the wood are evaluated: knots and their classifications, the potential presence of checks, shakes, or sapwood, as well as the uniformity of color and grain texture. This grading system primarily characterizes the visual and decorative qualities of the sawn timber. The grade has a negligible impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the wood, provided that the boards are manufactured from the same species and feature the proper moisture content (MC). **Features of Grade 1 Boards:** - The “Gold Standard” for joinery works: a surface practically without peculiarities, but at a more accessible price. - Single live (light) knots of small diameter and minor natural shade variations are permitted. - An optimal choice for worktops, stairs, parquet, and cabinet furniture, where the natural pattern of the wood is valued. ## Advantages of Edged Burl Poplar Board 1. **Saving Working Time and Quick Start.** Edged board allows you to skip the most labour-intensive and “messy” stage of initial preparation. You do not need to spend time removing bark or levelling edges on a band saw. The material is immediately ready for final cutting, jointing, and gluing. This shortens the production cycle by 20–30%, allowing the workshop to release more products per unit of time. 1. **Maximum Useful Yield Coefficient.** When buying unedged board, you pay for the total volume, part of which (bark, sapwood, edge defects) will go to waste. In the edged board format, you only pay for the working material. You receive a predictable result: 90–95% of the purchased volume becomes the finished product. 1. **Preservation of Tool Resource.** The bark of any tree often accumulates dust and sand, which act as an abrasive. Processing an unedged edge blunts planer knives and circular saws significantly faster. Working with clean **edged boards** extends the service life of the cutting tool’s edge and saves on machine maintenance. 1. **Accuracy of Calculations.** You can accurately calculate the cost price of the future product (steps, facades, worktops) even before work begins, without the risk of miscalculating the waste percentage. 1. **Convenient Storage.** Edged material has clear width parameters, which simplifies warehouse accounting. Boards with processed edges take up 1.5 times less space in the warehouse than unedged boards. ## Edged Burl Poplar Board: Dimensions WoodWay Expert offers quality edged boards made from selected and properly dried timber. The sawn timber is stored in appropriate conditions. Our warehouse stocks solid board in the following dimensions: - **Thickness:** 32 mm, 52 mm. - **Width:** From 20 cm. - **Length:** 1–4.5 m. Boards longer than 3 m incur a +20% charge to the price listed in the price list. Our specialists will help you choose quality material for your project of any complexity and scale. An additional service of rough cutting the board is available for more convenient transport. ## Features of Kiln-Dried Burl Poplar Boards - **Dimensional Stability.** During kiln drying, wood moisture is brought to an average of 8–10%—an indicator optimal for interior use. A controlled regime of temperature and humidity allows for a significant reduction of internal stresses in the solid wood. Thanks to this, the board behaves predictably during cutting and further processing: the risk of warping, distortion, or the formation of shrinkage cracks is significantly lower. Products made from **kiln-dried timber** retain their shape better over a long period under stable operating conditions. - **Biological Purity of the Material.** Temperature regimes of kiln drying suppress the development of mould and fungi and destroy most insect larvae, particularly woodworm. As a result, the sawn timber enters production in a biologically safe state, which is especially important for furniture and joinery manufacturing. - **Quality of Mechanical and Finish Processing.** Dry timber has a stable structure, which directly affects the processing result. During milling and sawing, the tool works cleaner, and the edge comes out smooth, without excessive fuzz and chipping. Sanding proceeds evenly, fibres do not “raise,” and stains, oils, and varnishes penetrate better and deeper into the pores, ensuring reliable adhesion and a stable finish. ## Areas of Application for Edged Burl Poplar Board ### Worktops made of Burl Poplar Joinery board is a suitable material for manufacturing wear-resistant worktops for writing desks, coffee tables, and side tables. Solid board is also used for the production of tops for bars and reception desks, counters, kitchen islands, and work surfaces. ### Furniture Facades made of Burl Poplar Sturdy wardrobes, chests of drawers, sideboards, shelving units, and floor and wall-mounted cabinets made from furniture board serve for decades. Such products are used for outfitting residential and public spaces. Furniture facades made of timber withstand domestic operational loads. ### Elements of Internal Stairs made of Burl Poplar This timber is chosen for manufacturing turned balusters, newel posts, handrails, and risers. The material lends itself to turning, allowing craftsmen to carve complex details without the risk of chipping or cracking. The species is easily toned, so items made from this soft solid wood can be integrated into design projects of various styles. ### Decorative Elements made of Burl Poplar Timber Unique texture makes every product, whether a massive wall panel or a miniature key holder, an exclusive design object. The ability of the timber to easily undergo various types of finish processing (toning, varnishing, brushing) allows the decor to be integrated into any style: from Scandinavian minimalism to rustic. ## Black (Burl/Mappa) Poplar Timber: Features **Burl Poplar** (often known as Mappa Burl) is an exclusive decorative material. It is not a separate biological species, but wood with growths (burls) on the trunk of the Black Poplar. The solid wood of Black Poplar is distinguished by a knotty structure. In places where burl growths form, the fibres densify, intertwine, and form a swirling pattern. Eye Poplar timber is a valuable decorative material used in the furniture industry and in the manufacture of decor items and interior trim. Density: low and non-uniform, amounting to about 400–500 kg/m³. The main mass of the wood is very soft (like lime or alder) and is easily scratched with a fingernail. The “eyes” (centres of burl clusters) are significantly harder. This difference in hardness creates difficulties during sanding: the soft part is sanded away faster. Burl Poplar is brittle. Unlike ordinary poplar, which can be bent, burl solid wood does not have bending elasticity. The timber can be glued, sawn, sanded, toned, and varnished. Areas with tangled fibres are harder, so well-sharpened tools must be used for sawing. The decorative solid wood acts like a sponge: it absorbs a colossal amount of varnish, oil, or primer. The first layers of coating often “disappear” into the timber without a trace. Ranges from light cream to golden brown. Burl veins are darker: brownish, reddish, or black. The pattern of the solid wood resembles “eyes” on a marble background. This unique material is used to create exclusive and designer products. ## Edged Dry Board: Species in Stock and to Order Edged sawn timber is available in stock at the warehouse.
