Daniel Metzger<\/p><\/div>\n

Metzger’s Burl Wood Gallery started in 1972, when Steve Metzger fell in love with the beauty of burled wood. \u201cWe\u2019ve always sourced our own burls and have developed expertise in \u2018reading\u2019 a log,\u201d Janet Metzger says. \u201cKnowing what grain will be revealed is key. We respect the forest and believe in harvesting only downed trees or those that have outlived their usefulness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Metzgers moved with their son Daniel to WNC from California when Daniel was in the third grade. Now 33 years old, Daniel is an inspired wood artist and integral to all aspects of production.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve designed and built the saw used to cut the wood, and we have our own kilns,\u201d Janet says. \u201cOur niche is people looking for works of art to grace their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metzger’s Burl Wood Gallery is located at 2770 Old Balsam Rd. Waynesville. Learn more at BurlGallery.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
