Title: Burls
Post by: DanaM on April 10, 2010, 03:52:23 pm: Cut these two cherry burls today, lots of knife handles in em ;D
Also happened across some HHB, should have waited another month as its gonna be a bugger getting the bark of them.

No, they're worthless. If you happen to find any, just send them to me and I'll take care of discarding them for you. ;) >:D

Post by: jthompson1995 on April 12, 2010, 08:37:19 pm: Awesome work, Grunt. I've never seen a rhododendron burl, nonetheless one that big. Natural edge bowls/hollowforms are some of my favorite to make and see. You did that one proud.
