That is a fabulous piece of work.  A simple shape made wonderous by incredible detail and material choice.  I want to be able to make one that good. 8)

danam, i stablized a little with superglue but this burl is some hard stuff without the glue.

Guys, can I just ask, what is this 'stabilising' that you talk about?  Are you covering the wood in superglue and sanding it back or something like that?

bob with this burl wood you will run into softer areas so ya soak the hell out of it in superglue :)
