    Rust Galls?

    Has anyone ever turned any of these burl-like growths?

    My forestry friends call them "rust galls" and I picked up several, mostly 8-inches diameter, on my visit to Montana. I was skeptical they's be worth the bother, but sampled one and they're quite dense and very figured. They're certainly turnable.

    The first two images above are the actual items I picked up; the third one is a sample pic from the internet.
