Pollard Oak

Pollard Oak is the wood grown from oak trees that have been pollard pruned. Pollard pruning is a method whereby the top branches of a tree are cut, that over time encourages growth of finer foliage in the lower parts of the tree. When pollard pruned, the tree forms a lump or 'burr' where the finer foliage grows from the trunk which when cut for wood or veneer, creates stunning pattern in the grain that is used in hand made period fine furniture cabinet making.
