Burls ??

[Rasmus Petersen]

I have a turning college thats selling most of his turning stock (3-4 tons of dry bruls) He has asked me to help him get some prices, so i turn to you, where would you sell burls like that, they are lage most of them. It black Locust Burl, Elm Burl (large pices)Oak burl .......

I would buy the lot if i had any money but sadly i havent..

Id do two things: first, as a member of the creek, post pics here, or on a site such as photobucket, allowing us members first pick. A week later, start uploading pics to ebay. Price should naturally depend on how anxious they are to unload the whole batch.

Does your friend live near you? If so, I expect shipping to the US would be pretty expensive, what demand is there in the Scandinavian region?

I've heard black locust burl is quite nice.

You might check out places like www.burlsource.com and http://www.leetreewoodworks.com/ and other places that sell burls (including ebay) to get an idea of price. Demand is everything, if they are hard to get woods and there is a market, they may be easy to sell, otherwise they might have to be unloaded for cheap.

Dan : Black locust burl is extreemly nice both to turn and the result is really GOOD.

Thanks for the sites and info ..
