Here is the cherry burl set I've been working on. It will be a while before I get another burl like this to work with.

That's quite the set Jack! Amazing wood! You're right, you don't often see cherry burl that is ALL burl! Very nice work! Have any plans for the set? Sell or gift?

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Steve, they will stay around the house for a while I think. My wife really likes them. They range in size from 13" in Dia. down to around 6" for the smallest. I used a oneway coring system. This is around the 6th set of bowls I've cored with it and never had a problem so far. It is the first natural edge set I've cored.
Thanks again,
Jack

WOW. That's all I can say about the wood. Then, WOW is all I can say about how many saved cores you got out of it!!!!!!!!!!!! I've managed to get 4 out of a big chunk of maple with my mcnaughton, but that is amazing!!!! Keep it up!

Nice:) That is my style of work. That is about the only way that I ever use burls. I would try to do thinner wall thickness if you could.
