What Is Red Mallee Burl?

Red mallee burl refers to an exotic type of Burls obtained from the Eucalyptus oleosa, which is an Australian native shrub eucalyptus tree. This wood grows as a hard and solid mass at the base of the crown of the tree. The density of the Red Mallee burl is 1,050kg/m³ and grain structure is interlocked meaning it has the characteristics necessary to produce great-looking guitars while still having a long life span once finished.
