This is the second oak burl I turned from that load I picked up.

It is 4" x 6" and is finished with antique oil and then buffed. This burl really has some wild grain.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

You've had some great looking wood to work with, Dick, and you've done a really nice job on all of them!

That is one gorgeous piece of wood and your turning does it justice. Great form that highlights the grain of the wood. And the finish is perfect.

I have never seen an explanation of the process involved in turning a piece like this. Does anyone have a good resource I could take a look at?

Nice piece... you did a beautiful job turning it! I have always liked oak for its plain simplicity, but I never really thought it could be so beautiful! I am liking these oak burl pieces!

Hey Dick, you haven't raided Chris's Oak stash have you? He might get sore if you did. Great piece.
