Burls

[dakids]

A couple weeks ago I harvested 2 maple burls and a white oak burl. I brought them over to a friend of Deadeye's.  He turns them on his lathe and made a few bowls. I found it very interesting and fun to watch an artist at work.

Maple burl first.

Only turns them down to 3/4 inch thick.He puts something on them.  Sprays or brushes it on, don't remember which and let's dry 2 or 3 months.  He will then turn them the rest of the way down.

We saw a huge one about the size of a garbage can lid on an old Oak in our hunting area that we talked about for years.  They logged off that part of the woods last year!

He also turns handles out of burls and spalted wood.  Hear are a few.  He get 75 to 100 each.  I don't remember for sure what if was but to rich for me.
