Burls, burls and more burls!

[John Keeton]

Dan Forman was kind enough to send me info on a source for Australian burls. Actually, I suspect it was part of the continuing plot to suck me deeper into the vortex!!:D;) At this point, an easy task!!

Well, after drooling over my keyboard while looking at the website, and a great conversation with Jim at AustralianBurls (extremely helpful), I ended up with an order of 12 cut blocks of various burls.

My plan is to make goblets of these - though it may be awhile before I accomplish that. I was able to get "threes" of some of the burls, and thought scaled goblets might be neat - same style, but graduated in size.

For those that may have some interest, this is the contact info. I have no affiliation, just very pleased with quality and price.

Looks like some beautiful wood! Looking forward to seeing the goblets!

I like your idea of a set of three. Have heard things sell very well when in sets of 3 or 5.

Have fun with it!

I've made 3 purchases from Jim at Aussie Burls - he's always been very fair in his dealings with me, and has really nice product.

John I don't believe I have ever seen anyone fall in so fast and so deep! Enjoy the fall your work is very good and becoming outstanding...Bill..

Look's like to me petrified wood Burl.

Congratulations... I'm anxious to see what you do with this stuff. I was on that website last night, as I've gotten clearance from the boss to purchase a burl cap. He's got an amazing selection of stuff, and I think that's where I'll end up buying. Glad to hear the transaction was a good one.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well my friend, you had better get that heat cranked up out in that shop.

Those are some great looking burls. I can't wait to see the group of three.

[David Christopher]

John, I bet those burls will be beautiful...cant wait to see the finished product.

[Baxter Smith]

You must be getting confident John! All I dare turn is free stuff.;)
So are the stems going to be walnut or curly maple?:D I'm sure they will look great!

[Dan Forman]

John---Glad you got a hold of Jim. I've always enjoyed doing business with him. Well, have at it and let's see what you come up with.

That's some interesting looking wood John. I can't wait to see the sets of goblets.
