A guy i did some work for a while back,stopped by the house yesterday. I had asked him if he ever found any burls to let me know. He is the head saw man at a saw mill. Well when he pulled in wasn't sure who it was, but was sure glad to see what he had in the back of his truck. I hadn't said how i would like any burls that he might find. But i guess he thought he'd do me a favorite by cutting them up in 2 to 3 inch slabs. O they'll make some nice platters.well every thing in these pics have at least some burl. Here's a blank i ruffed out for him .by the way the plater blank is 16".231926231929231928231927

Steve, lots of possibilities there!! Very nice haul. That platter is going to really be something with the finish on it. I take it these are all green?

Steve that is a nice haul. I can see a few possibilities. Platter should be really nice with finish applied.
