Red Oak Burl--I lied

[Gary Max]

I couldn't wait two weeks before I turned the Red Oak Burl that arrived yesterday.

[Tim Rinehart]

WOW. That's going well!! I would hope you're going to wrap the dickens out of it before hollowing!!
Nice, can't wait to see finished.

[bob svoboda]

Looking good, Gary. Stay on the safe side of that behemoth. Lots of interesting stuff going on there!

[John Hart]

Yep...quite a monster. So...whatcha goin' for....1/8" Wall? :)

Like Scott H says..."still not thin enough". I bet Gary goes for 1/16 max!...right Gary?!!

[John Keeton]

Like I said initially - gonna be lots of voids in that sucker!!

[Gary Max]

Hopefully---I will turn it till just before it falls apart. The thin thing is just something turners like, it really dosen't affect sales. Some folks like wood that has some weight. Right now the ants have the project on hold. Little suckers bite.

[Baxter Smith]

Looks like a hefty one! Glad my burls only have the ants that crawl!

[Gary Max]

Baxter ---- I think they are mad because of getting thrown out of their homes.

[Jim Burr]

Holy cow Gary...you sure have your hands full! Be careful...it should come out great!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Gary that is one huck of burl. Can't wait to see it finished. Be careful with that thing.
