    No clue John, as hard as it is and as red as it is and with the amount of tannin coming out, I suspect this is red oak!

    Sixteen posts and nobody has told you... You suck. Big, burl, suck!

    I'm anxious to see what that stuff looks like turned and finished. It does look like ambrosia staining, but I've never heard of ambrosia oak! Congrats on discovering a new wood for turners to covet!

    Man, that is some sweet looking wood. I don't generally like turning oak, but I think I could fall in love with that stuff. I'm going to set my alarm for one year so I'll remember to look for the finished piece.

    Nice looking burl and bowl Ken! Is that the big one you had dumped in your front yard last fall? If I remember correctly, you were going to put christmas lights on it. Must have been kind of a bummer to have to take them off yesterday just to cut it up.

    That wasn't even close to waiting a year! Looks real nice. If you were closer I would be in the market for some of that wood.

    No, it's not thin enough yet.
