Burls

[Joe Pelonio]

I was given some burls by a friend, the large one I'll finish and use for bonsai display/photos. It's Cocobolo, as are the rest except for two furthest right which are unknown. The end cuts may become clocks or something else interesting.

GIVEN burls like that? Your friend deserves a big thank you.

You, on the other hand, deserve to be gloating.

Joe, Those should make nice clocks etc. . Must be nice to have friends like the. Nice gloat. Happy Woodworking, Craig

[Dick Strauss]

Joe,
That's quite a nice score!

I'd guess the left three are big leaf maple burl given where you live while the right two burls are probably from Australia. I don't see any that look like cocobolo but I might be completely off base. They all might be from Australia I can't really tell for sure.

Those are really nice caps, Joe...and they will really be a nice enhancement for your work!

[Alan Greene]

That is a great friend and gloat. Make sure you take some pictures to show us the completed projects they should be fantastic. Congrats and enjoy.
