I recieved this burl from a friend in Western New York and was pretty suprised at how much figure showed up. Burl was shallow (about 3 inches) and ended up 12x14 inches . Finished with several hand buffed coats of satin poly. Oak was extremly hard (like a rock)

Thanks for Looking

I don't think I have seen an oak burl this figured! Great friend and a great job on a beautiful piece of burl wood...Bill...

Beautiful wood and you did a wonderful job of showing off the grain.

In the pictures you do not get a sense that it is that big.

Nice job,

Toney

Owen - that is just an amazing piece of burl! You did a great job on bringing out everything it had to offer! Very nice form and finish! The bowl looks like it has it's own light system! Just amazing!

Thanks for sharing!
