I don't turn, but I know from visiting this forum how much you vortex people like burls. My brother-in-law just got back from a trip out west and some of the pictures he brought back of the giant redwoods were just eyepopping. I thought some of the turners here might appreciate these photos of an enormous burl. (At least, I think it is a burl, not precisely my area of expertise.)
Check out the first photo. From this shot it is hard to tell how big the burl is because there is no nearby object to get a sense of scale.
Now check out a closeup of just the burl. Perhaps you can get a little better idea of how massive it is from this shot.
And the final picture. With a person in the foreground you can see that this is really just a MASSIVE burl. Wonder what kind of horsepower would be needed to get that puppy spinning?
And before anybody asks, yes these are real pictures, no retouching, no photoshop, just resized to fit on the site.
