My turn for a wood gloat

[Jason Clark2]

I was able to get a decent load of Fremont Cottonwood burl yesterday, the tree had been standing dead until a recent storm. 12 pieces in total ranging from approx 7 X 7 all the way up to 18 X 20. Some of it appears to be somewhat spalted and should be fun to turn.

Jason,

That's some nice burl. Love the spikes. It will give you a lot of options on what to make. Looking forward to seing pics of your work.

That storm we had must have restocked many turners around here. Figures I'd be called out of town for two days. I only saw one tree worth asking about and it was gone by the time I passed back on the way to get the chainsaw.

Now be honest, did you call up that storm just so you could get that burl Jason? hehe...nice haul.
