About a year ago I got this walnut burl for about $3 at a yard sale. It was so dry that it seemed too light for walnut. I waited until I knew my bandsaw a little better before trying to resaw it. I used a 3/8" blade that worked fine.
I cut it in about 1/4" slices. The 4 biggest pieces on the left can be laid out into a double bookmatch (if that's the right term) about 20" wide and 36" long without gaps.
My original idea was for this wood was a hanging jewelry cabinet for my wife. She likes lighter woods better so I'll get some curly maple for her and use this for something else (don't know what that could be yet).
One question, now that this dry burl is cut, should I stack and sticker, stack between mdf, stack between paper?
I'll be looking for ideas on a project that fits the wood. Your suggestions may even be considered!
