I Was Burled Over

[Pete Jordan]

Gary the wood guy came through again. He called me and said he had a present for me.

3 Huge oak burls!

[Scott Hubl]

:eek: SAWEET!!
YOU SUCK!

Congrats too!:D

[curtis rosche]

i dont think those are any good, i heard oak is poisonous when it burls, ill just have to take it from you

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice score Pete! I see you have the sealing crew already there! Looking forward to seeing what you turn out of it!

[Jim Becker]

Oh, my....is the burl or the boy the free bonus feature? Or is this a kinda Vanna White deal? :) And the wood is nice, too... :D ...'Looking forward to seeing what you make with it!

[curtis rosche]

hope you have one of those coring tools

[Bernie Weishapl]

Holy cow Pete. Congrats on the wood. Can't wait to see some turnings off those.

[Bruce Pennell]

Great score Pete.....:D

[Gary Herrmann]

Get workin' Pete, you can be the only guy on your block with a maple burl laundry basket.

Have I mentioned that you suck?

[Mark Hix]

Those are just about right for a popcorn bowl!
Great score!

[Richard Madison]

Now the hard part - what to make?

[Pete Jordan]

Now the hard part - what to make?

Exactly!

Since they are thick, I was thinking of taking a slab or two from the big ones and trying to make platters. I think I need a big face plate. I have been using the worm wood screw but I don't think it would hold.

Yes you will need a big face plate, and bigger jaws for your chuck. Nice burls.
