Burl wood, known in Japanese as "Tsuge" (椿), refers to wood that comes from the burls or knobbles on certain tree species, particularly trees like mizume (Japanese horse chestnut), keyaki (Japanese zelkova), and others. These burls are round, knobby growths that appear on the trunks and branches of trees and are highly cherished in Japan. less
