This one is from a giant burl that I found last summer. The burl was on a yellow birch about 3' off the ground. The whole thing was bout 5' across and the tree was very dead. The burl is weathered and gray but the wood is somewhere between balsa and white pine for density. It turns nice but has some punky spots here and there and tears out some. A lot of sanding and it looks pretty nice. It has the nice spalting in it and the contrast between the cream and brown is nice! It is hard to see in the picture but it has some nice curl in it also! There is a picture of part of the burl, I have 5 hunks like that or bigger!
Thanks,
Jeff
