Thuya Burl (Tetraclinis articulata) This tree is native to northwestern Africa, specifically to the Atlas Mountain regions of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. In addition, this tree can also be found in very isolated pockets of southeastern Spain as well as on the Mediterranean island nation of Malta. The tree appears to prefer a hot, dry, subtropical climate and grows at low altitudes.
The hard heartwood varies in color from a glistening golden brown to a dark hue that is almost black. The Thuya wood tends to display a figure called “eyes” which are perfectly round and scattered throughout some burls, while in others they are clumped together in what appear to be islands of eyes. The figure is similar to bird’s eye maple but the overall effect is much darker and easier to discern. The wood is oily and very aromatic with an incredibly pleasing scent reminiscent of pine and black pepper.
Nearly always exported and sold as burls from the root of the tree, with plain or unfigured wood of little commercial value.

Verified Purchase
I ordered a set of crochet hooks, all different combinations, and was amazed at the comfort, quality and beauty of the craftsmanship. They are, believe it or not, even prettier in person and the shipment arrived quickly, with the hooks carefully packed in individual tubes. The hooks are warm to the touch and surprisingly smooth-they behave much like an aluminum hook without the heaviness. Thank you, Bryan, for sharing your talent and time in producing a product that will be forever cherished! I'm going to be in big trouble if you decide to turn knitting needles...:)
