Trinkets from burl and suvel, which after the necessary processing with their durability and appearance resemble natural stones, especially marble, look very nice. Kap and Suvel are growths of various formations on trees (birch, aspen, alder, oak, etc.) When sawing, the cut has a very beautiful pattern of intertwined wood fibers, therefore these benign formations are valued in the consumer market (a small block of burl costs several thousand rubles).

These growths can be bought on the ads or cut yourself. To do this, you need to find a suitable tree in the forest with a pronounced growth. Due to the dense interlacing of fibers, such wood has a high hardness, so it is necessary to cut it with a very sharp saw. At home, the workpiece is recommended to literally boil in very salty water for 30-40 minutes. This is done to remove moisture and extend the durability of finished products. After complete cooling of the bar you need to give the necessary shape of the future key fob. No drawings should be applied, as the surface of the product will be very beautiful without it.
