This is a very large burl which was turned/carved by Roger Jacobs and was donated by a customer to the Grandfather Mountain Museum, in Western North Carolina. It is approximately the size of a hot tub! Hard to imagine how difficult it must have been to handle something so large and heavy.

Wow! That's a monster. Very beautiful work.
Looks like a three-seater hot tub.

Absolutly stunning. Looks like a job for a VB36 lathe. Any idea what kind of wood it is?

Bill,
The burl is from a black birch.
