Art DecoThe Stunning Craftsmanship of Maple Burl in Handmade Jewelry Boxes
For centuries, artisans and craftsmen around the world have been making wooden jewelry boxes. What makes them valuable and even more precious than the treasures they hold are their intricate designs and hand painting. They come in a variety of styles and sizes that make them ideal for small jewelry like rings and bracelets to bigger items such as lady’s gloves and necklaces.
Gold, silver and ivory were among the precious materials used in making jewelry boxes in the past Other materials like wood, silk and porcelain were also used in some parts of the world. Some of these exquisite jewelry boxes have become collectors’ items themselves.
Because of the range of materials being used in making jewelry boxes today, they are ideal not just for women but men and children alike. Wooden jewelry boxes have since become popular among jewelry connoisseurs around the world. These boxes are now available in a wide variety of wood types - cherry, oak, maple, etc.
The way these jewelry boxes are crafted highlights the natural beauty of wood. This is why wood is chosen as the perfect material to make cabinets, dressers, and chests that hold precious heirlooms and other valuable keepsakes. Maple, walnut and cherry are among the types of wood favored by artisans in creating different types of furniture and other items like trinket and jewelry boxes.
Maple is durable and the wood shows finely detailed lines when properly stained and polished. Maple, in general, is great for making a variety of wood products. Maple burls are considered abnormalities of nature caused by some forms of stress or injury from fungus infection or insect infestation. These burls attach themselves to the roots and climb all the way up to the trunk and form protrusions covered by bark.
Some maple trees have burls that grow and spread in great size that they sometimes cover the entire trunk. When these burls are cut, they produce unique and interesting patterns in the wood making them highly prized by expert craftsmen. They are very hard to work with because they’re very delicate and only experienced artisans can create masterpieces out of maple burls.
The detailed patterns created by burls on wood are sought after by artists, wood sculptors and furniture makers. Maple burls are quite common in Big Leaf Maple trees found in the Pacific Coast region. This type of wood is commonly used in manufacturing wood laminates and veneers used in furniture, musical instruments, and interior panels as well.
Highly figured wood burls are used for more valuable items such as stringed instruments, furniture trimmings, and finely crafted chests and jewelry boxes. Maple burls are darker in color compared to regular maple wood - they range from yellow ochre to deep shades of brown. The uneven patterns found in polished maple burl make them unique and really valuable.
This is why wooden jewelry boxes made from maple burl make them great gift items and precious keepsakes. Preserving your heirlooms with quality hand-crafted wooden jewelry boxes bring with them an Old World charm and they can be passed on to your children and grandchildren.
