About a week ago I was looking for some burl scraps to make Christmas ornaments. I got in touch with Cory from Up North Burls and he said he had some "scraps" he would sell cheap. These have got to be some of the nicest scraps I have ever seen.

Here's an quick ornament I did this afternoon just to see what the burl would look like. I tried something different with the finial and don't really like it, but the burl for the globe is gorgeous.

I can't wait to turn the rest of the ornaments. If I do my part they should come out great. I also ordered from Cory a bigger piece of burl to do a hollow from out of. Size is 7 1/2" x 3". Picture is taken from his website. I can't wait to see what will come out of this piece.

Cory also threw in some pen blanks just for good measure. Overall I have to say I'm very happy with what I got.
