No, it's a clear indication that I don't like the design.

I made no reference to it's so-called "build" quality, nor to any "builder". But it's damn ugly looking - frightening, actually

Diseased, comes to mind.

I can understand criticising the shape. But buckeye burl is not such an uncommon wood, especially since we're talking boutique/custom.
And yes it's definitely a diseased wood, it gets that look due to some fungus, it's actually "rotting" wood that's been treated to be "frozen" there.
(feel free to call me on my BS if I'm incorrect!)
