Ok,
My computer has been up and down so I can't post any gloat pictures, :rolleyes: but I have aquired some burls.
One a fantastic burl that's bone dry. Don't know if it was on a tree that died or has just been so long since it was cut. I believe it is Walnut
The others are fresh, some I cut last night. Some a week ago and are Maple.
I hit all exposed cut sides with Anchor Seal and put them in my back workshop out of the light. Figured a long slow dry was probably best.
I'll listen to any and all ideas on how they should be treated. Some are large..size of two basketballs.
One question I have is how to clean off the bark to show all the natural edge and spikes?
Thanks,
Frank
