Dakota Burl Explained

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]
