Dakota Burl

Last updated

Dakota Burl is a sustainable composite wood composed of a soy-based resin and discarded sunflower shells. The striated pattern of the sunflower seed hulls gives the material a speckled appearance. [1] [2] The material is typically manufactured in panels and used as a reclaimed alternative to hardwoods. [3] [4]
