Our ranch in the Texas Hill Country has literally thousands of these Oak trees that are overcome with heavy burl. I want to get into turning soon so I plan on using a lot of the wood then. I was also thinking of slicing some of it into veneer. I've harvested some larger oaks, but nothing that was solid burl. Most of it was fairly straight grained. I had mild success using latex paint as a sealer. There was some checking, but nothing past 2" deep. Should I cut these into individual pieces and seal both ends? I'm really eager to see how this stuff looks! Some of the trees can get pretty crazy.
