I just finished adding a dozen blocks of stabilized Thuya burl to the web store.
Prices range from $45 to $55.
This Link will take you to the Thuya Burl


Following is information about Thuya Burl as stated on this Morrocan Website.
Thuya is an aromatic, exotic wood harvested from a special tree indigenous to Morocco. Grown exclusively in the Middle Atlas Mountains, thuya (say it twee-ya) has been revered since Roman times both for its gorgeous burled grain and splendid aroma. Ancient men of wealth demanded their furniture be crafted of this rare wood, which was often used in religious ceremonies. In modern times, thuya has become synonymous with wealth thanks to its incorporation into luxury products during the last several centuries. In fact, it was the first burled wood to be selected for the dashboard consoles of Rolls Royce’s expensive felt of opulent cars. The fact that the trees grow only in Morocco’s climate- and nowhere else in the world- has lent the wood an air of exclusivity which has heightened global demand.

Mark,
Does Thuya take stabilizing well? That sure is pretty stuff!!!

Thuya burl is one of the oily woods that bleeds for a while after getting stabilized.
Some of the stabilizing companies do not want to stabilize thuya because it takes a different recipe than they would use for a wood like maple as well as more time and effort. K&G does a great job with this wood.
These blocks have been back from K&G for several months and are no longer bleeding.
The blocks are noticably heavier and harder than before they were stabilized.
Very beautiful wood, bold figure without looking obnoxious.
