The price of a bar depends on its uniqueness and quality of the pattern.
Cap
A cap is a rounded outgrowth on a trunk or branch formed by small tree nodules of the accessory and sleeping buds. On the surface of the outgrowth there can be, and most often, just so, a lot of small shoots, twigs. Mouthguards are found mainly in hardwoods: oak, walnut, maple, poplar, but most often on birch.
The burl wood is 50 - 70% denser than the wood of the tree itself, the fibers are interwoven, multidirectional, plus a large number of darker inclusions formed by "sleeping" kidneys, so the burl is unusually beautiful on crafts and on the hilt of knives.
Suvel.
Suvel is formed by overgrown annual rings of a tree. The structure of the growth, as the name implies (also called the swill) is twisted, caused by twisted annual rings.
Reaches a huge size. In the Vatican there is a font carved from one growth. But, in my observation, the finer the suvel, the more saturated its drawing. Under the bark of the growth, the surface is hilly, but without “spikes”, as on a mouth guard, but in the form of large, smoothly flowing hollows and “hills”. Suvel is well polished, and polished, impregnated with linseed oil, for example, wood, is very beautiful - it seems to glow from the inside, the pattern is multidirectional, with a pearly shimmer.
