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!

Get workin' Pete, you can be the only guy on your block with a maple burl laundry basket.
Have I mentioned that you suck?

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.
