This is a Red Mallee Burl I turned last month.

It is 8" x 6" x 2" and the bowl turnout is 5" in dia. It is finished with antique oil and buffed, then a coat of Renaissance wax was put on and buffed again.

Thanks for looking.

Very pretty Dick! That looks like it was probably very fragile to turn!

Wow! That's beautiful! I have a large manzanita burl that my produce something like that. I've had it sitting in my shop for a couple months just waiting to be cut open but I've been afraid to screw it up! Here are a few pic's, maybe you can give me direction. It is roughly the size of a basketball.

Whoops, I just discovered that you apparently can't repost pics that were previously posted in another thread:o . I don't know how to link to the other thread either. I'll work on it and get back to everyone.

Wow! Thats really pretty. I would like to see some more views of it. How do you treat the edge of that? When buffing does a lot of lint get stuck in it? Beautiful piece.

Dick, have been busy with family issues for the past couple of weeks and not had the time to respond to a lot of the turnings posted. Your turning made me stop to at least let you know that I really like what you have created! Beautiful wood and absolutely love the form. Great finish - I look forward to your next posting!
