Red Mallee Burr (*Eucalyptus socialis*), native to Australia, is a highly sought-after burl wood prized for its striking grain patterns and rich, warm hues. Ranging in colour from deep red to golden brown, often with contrasting lighter sapwood, Red Mallee features intricate swirls, eyes, and natural figuring that make each piece truly unique. Its high density and fine texture allow it to take a beautiful polish, bringing out its deep, natural luster.
Ideal for custom knife scales, Red Mallee Burr is not only visually stunning but also extremely durable and resistant to wear. Its interlocking grain can make machining challenging, but the results are well worth the effort, as it finishes to an incredibly smooth, glossy surface.
Due to its organic burl formation, each set of Red Mallee Burr knife scales comes in irregular shapes, and the provided sizes are approximate. Natural cracks, voids, or inclusions are common and may require stabilisation or filling, adding to the unique charm of this exceptional wood.
With its unmatched beauty and durability, Red Mallee Burr is a favorite among knife makers looking to create truly one-of-a-kind handles that stand out both aesthetically and functionally.
