I haven't posted in forever but thought this might be of interest.
While visiting family and friends for Thanksgiving, someone mentioned a woodcutter who had a large burl that I could have. Wow, now they had my attention. It turned out to be two big burls on one recently cut stump. The burl doesn't go all the way through but looks promising and unfortunately not much red streaking in the wood. The second piece/photo is some additional burl that the first cut missed. The nice gentlemen who cut it from the stump for me also had some large rounds of mountain mahogany (I owe him a bowl or cutting board, he wouldn't take cash). The mahogany is pretty checked but I will still saw it open and see how it looks. Unfortunately, we had the car and had to leave the second burl for next time...
